"We are very excited to be supporting GRAFT in sharing exciting work from Black artists with the people of Lancaster. Many of us have experienced the positive effect that the arts have on our wellbeing during lockdown, and this project gives people a reason to get outside and engage with culture while enjoying a socially distanced walk. Sumuyya Khader’s ‘You got this’ has an incredibly positive message and I am excited to be displaying it outside Lancaster City Museum.”

- Rachael Bowers, Manager of Lancaster City Museum

“I got involved because my sister signed me up, and I’ve found it really interesting to meet artists and learn about racism. I want this exhibition to spread awareness about racism in Lancaster”

Here are some of the things the young curators said about the project...

"It is really important and vital that the message is spread about Black Lives Matter and also for up and coming Black artists to get a chance. We chose these artists because they were the ones that we feel most represented our message – they had a story to tell that represented the project."

"The project was fun! I like the artists we chose because their work is good and it relates to the message we wanted to send."

"Racism isn’t a trend, it’s still going on today. We want the project to spread a good message about stopping racism."
