Join us for the launch of Dig Where You Stand’s new exhibition with Wentworth Woodhouse. Here we make visible the unknown Black Georgian community of Rotherham and reveal some of the earliest recorded African-descended people in South Yorkshire. Their names are Thomas Blake, George Senegal, Henry Fryday, and Romulus and Remus. By archiving Blackness through art we insist the Black being into the fabric of this house.
The launch will include poetry and musical performances from Désirée Reynolds, Otis Mensah and Seigfried Komidashi. There will also be a Q&A.
A coach has been organised to take visitors based in Sheffield to and from Wentworth Woodhouse. If you would like to reserve a space please let us know via the booking link.
