Holding Emotions
-
A space to connect with and confront complex emotions about the British trade in enslaved Africans.
Creating space for anger, empathy, curiosity, creativity and everything in between after visiting the London, Sugar & Slavery gallery.
The display gives an opportunity to connect with and confront complex emotions after visiting the London, Sugar & Slavery gallery. The gallery was created in 2007 and is one of the only permanent UK displays dedicated to the British trade in enslaved Africans.
The gallery might spark a sense of acknowledgement for some and curiosity for others. However, it also might trigger discomfort, anger and disappointment. Where do these feelings go?
Holding Emotions is a collaborative display created with the museum, young people from Taking Shape Association and Mind’s Race Equity Team.
To explore tools and activities to support you in processing your emotions, visit Mind.
