Visit 'FREE at Last?' London Exhibition in March and April 2007
Why? Because it is a time-limited, unique and novel experience. This exciting approach to promoting learning about the European Slave Trade is so much more than an exhibition. A replica of a notorious slave carrier, The Zong, has been designed to show something of what life was for those who were transported as slaves across the Atlantic Ocean.
It is an experience that examines and uses the past to educate and strengthen us for the future. Learning from the past is our most powerful weapon against repeating devestating mistakes. It is our guide in growing towards a more learned, whole and harmonised human nation.
Free at last? is also an inquisitory exhibition, which means that when you have absorbed some of the facts about the European Slave Trade and The Abolition, we encourage you to join in considering the meaning of freedom, and your freedom in light of your new found understanding.
You can explore issues around the legacy of slavery and how these issues are still deeply rooted in our society. You can join in the fight against modern slavery (see the Links page or click here). You can explore why we humans are capable of committing such atrocites against one another. Or you can walk away from the whole exhibition, reflective and lost in the moment.
The ship is only available to visit for a 10 day period; 30th March to 9th April 2007. Please sign our petition to make the exhibition permanent.
