Campaigning against Slavery, from the 18th to the 21st Century

This 16-panel A2 (42cm x 59.4 cm) exhibition takes the audience on a visual journey through history from the time of the Transatlantic Slave Trade to slavery in contemporary society. It also looks at how slavery has been challenged through popular campaigning and by the development of international standards to prohibit them.

Recovered Histories: Reawakening the narratives of enslavement, resistance and the fight for freedom

This 17-panel A2 (42cm x 59.4 cm) exhibition looks at the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the enslavement of Africans in the Caribbean, and their fight for liberation and their emancipation. It focuses on the narratives of the enslaved, enslavers, abolotionists, parlimentarians, clergy, planters and rebels. It is based on Anti-Slavery International's collection of 18th and 19th century literature which it has recently digitised and made available through http://www.recoveredhistories.org

Human Traffic

Human Traffic is a 16 panel (51x41cm) black and white exhibition, which documents the trafficking of children in Benin and Gabon, West Africa. It is a testament to the extraordinary bravery and courage of children who have been manipulated, deceived, beaten and raped by the adults who enslave them. It reaches behind the headlines, looking at the people who are fighting for these children's rights and asks what can be done to bring an end to this horrific trade.

Ideal for galleries and creative art spaces, as well as schools and libraries, the exhibition is a powerful and visual educational tool.

Library Exhibition

This 12 panel colour exhibition promotes Anti-Slavery Internationals library. It demonstrates how relevant our collections of literature, photos and videos are to an anyone studying such issues as human rights, gender, imperialism, colonialism, labour history, development, and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Aimed at an academic audience we hope it will encourage more use of the library and will extend awareness and further the understanding of the issue of slavery.
