Event Details

This online talk is linked to the Slavery Family Trees banner displayed in Lancaster University library that highlights some of the key findings of a community research project relating to Lancaster’s black history.

Those involved in this project will share more about the key characters, places and objects displayed on the banner and their links to transatlantic slavery and local history. Members from the Sewing Cafe will describe and discuss the process of making the banner and how this helps to draw attention to both the legacies of slavery, race and colonialism while also highlighting the role of modern slavery and environmental justice through the upcycling of fabrics and clothing material to make artwork that speaks to issues of equality and social justice.
