New exhibition to explore Devon’s links with the slave trade

Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM) has commissioned artist Joy Gregory to create an artwork for an exhibition opening in October on the transatlantic slave trade. It will explore how the impact of the trade can still be seen in Devon and Exeter today.

The exhibition is part of a wider programme in 2020 that will see RAMM use its collections to ask difficult questions and explore hidden stories. Untold Stories will feature a series of exhibitions, events, artist commissions and other activities that are also designed to give a voice to neglected communities. Read more here.
