Curation

When curating my approach is to think of how I can take people on a journey with my selection. This could be a journey that paints a whole picture from start to finish or amplifies a moment in time. I always begin by choosing themes and on this occasion I thought of themes that could significantly represent what is integral to Black History and culture in the UK - music, food, hair, justice and achievements. There are titles here for all ages with a mixture of fantasy and true stories.
