Movements that Matter for Black History Month in partnership with Colt Technology Services.
Black History Month serves as an annual opportunity to recognize, honour and delve into historical and contemporary narratives
of the Black community. The theme "Movements that Matter" beautifully
encapsulates the essence of this important celebration. Which acknowledges the crucial role that Black people have played in shaping history and driving change. However, the exhibition highlighted various dimensions of movement - from personal journeys of resilience, courage, and self-discovery and societal journeys of collective power and social activism.

Then N Now aligns with the exhibition's goal of exploring societal challenges and transformation. These life-size sculptures serves as a means of understanding historical narratives and their impact on contemporary identity and representation.
The sculptures explore resistance as catalyst for positive change. They inspire cultural pride in contemporary Black achievement and call for an appreciation of the Black historical past as a worthy legacy.
Ultimately, these figuratives sculptures celebrates contemporary Black culture and achievements, echoing struggles to freedom and progress.
