Painting our Past: The African Diaspora in England | Starts 9 June

English Heritage has commissioned a series of portraits depicting six historic figures from the African diaspora whose stories have contributed to England’s rich history. Each artist has been supported by our curators and historians to creatively portray their subject, and the paintings will be hung at the English Heritage site connected to its subject.

The exhibition starts on 9 June 2021.
