The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool is set to host an exhibition of work by 38 Black British women and non-binary artists. The exhibition will be called Conversations and run from 19th October 2024 to 9th March 2025.

Through the powerful artworks on display, the exhibition aims to provide a platform for crucial conversations to take place, asking poignant and necessary questions about today’s culture and society. The exhibition takes place in the wake of the distressing acts of violence, hatred and racism seen across the UK in recent months, demonstrating the timely and vital need for discussion and understanding.

Apparently, this is the first exhbition of its kind in a national UK art gallery which can go onto the pile of other firsts for Black people which shouldn’t have taken so long. But putting that aside for the moment, this is an important exhibition and if you can get to Liverpool between October–March, you should go visit!
