The ten globe sculptures of ‘The World Reimagined’ form a trail across the city and are intended to get people - especially the young - to follow along and understand racial justice.
The exhibition has also toured Birmingham, Bristol, Leicester, Liverpool, Swansea and across London boroughs.
The World Reimagined hope that this project will “help us understand what it means to be British”.
