Final ten days of this fantastic and important project... . Colourism is a new exhibition by Black History Month South (@bhmsouth) on show during Black History Month this October. . This ground-breaking presentation delves into the complex and often overlooked issue of colourism. With images taken by renowned Southampton live music and documentary photographer @nosamalcolm, Colourism aims to challenge perceptions and spark conversations about the profound impact of colourism on communities across the globe. . Through a series of powerful images showing at various venues across the city, the exhibition explores the nuanced ways in which colourism manifests in Black, White, and Mixed-Race communities. Beyond the superficial stereotypes, the exhibition will reveal the deep-rooted cultural, social, and economic disparities that arise from this prejudice. . Join us as we embark on a visual journey that sheds light on a critical issue and inspires us to work towards a more equitable and inclusive society. . Colourism is a Black History Month South exhibition, in partnership with Arts Council England. .
