The show will draw from the experiences of the artists and creatives involved and so we are particularly seeking people who identify as Black or from a Global Majority background. For clarity we recognise Global Majority as a term for people that includes people of Indigenous, African, Caribbean, East Asian, South Asian, South East Asian, Latin American, mixed heritage and other ethnic groups who are often racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’.
