Uncomfortable Truths The Shadow of Slave Trading on Contemporary Art and Design at the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull Dates: 15 September 2007 - 06 January 2008 Uncomfortable Truths will address the ways in which the legacy of slavery informs art and design. This exhibition of new and specifically commissioned work will commemorate the bicentenary of the Parlimentary abolition of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, seeking to reassess the human cost of slavery. The cross-cultural experience of the trans-cultural Atlantic slave trade is reflected by the choice of artists who are from the United States, Britain, Africa and Europe, including Fred Wilson, Lubaina Himid, Yinka Shonibare, Romuald Hazoumé and Christine Meisner.
