Events

Slave Trade Remembrance Day

'Story Interrupted'
Artwork created by visual orator Akosua Bambara to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade as part of the international UNESCO commemoration.

The artwork is for permanent display at Bruce Castle Museum. Created during 2007-2008, the work commemorates in Haringey the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in Britain. Akosua Bambara was inspired by Haringey’s own historical art, archives and oral histories and developed the piece in consultation with the community.

The project was managed by museum staff in collaboration with the Friends of Bruce Castle who commissioned the artist, with support from the New Initiatives Development Fund and Haringey Council.
