In celebration of Black History Month, central London event space The Outernet has teamed up with Black British platform Seasoned for an exhibition about what it means to be Black and British. Screened across the venue’s wraparound LED screens, it features responses to research done by the Runnymede Trust which found that nearly two thirds of Black Britons feel that racism in the UK has worsened in the last five years. Passersby are free to stop in at the open-air venue to check out the display, which runs for the majority of Black History Month and promises to be ‘a vibrant portrait of the diversity, creativity and resilience of Black Britain today’. Visitors are also encouraged to donate to the Runnymede Trust, a charity which works tirelessly to challenge structural racism in the UK.
