What's It All About

Come and Chill at Afri-Co-Lab, while we dig into the heated phrase "Playing The Race Card" using collage. Led by the Afri-Co-Lab team and Playing The Race Card Exhibition Director Claudine Eccleston, we will explore how 25 UK Black artists have creatively responded to this contested statement.

 

Doesn't matter if art is not your thing, perhaps you want to try something different or meet new people. Collage & Chill is all about the banter, sharing thoughts and trying something new
