In a culturally diverse city like Birmingham, the impact and positive contribution that African, African Caribbean and Asian artists have brought to the city and also to the arts fraternity has been eminent. From the music world right through to the theatre world, Black British artists have transformed the different artistic genres and made it their own. Giving us a flavour of what it means to be Black and British through their creative ideas and bodies of work in today’s society.

This photographic exhibition captures the essence of Black artists through a series of portraits, which documents their everyday lives, living and working within Birmingham.
