Rise Up: Resistance, Revolution, Abolition
Fri 21 February - Sun 1 June
Fitzwilliam Museum
Bringing together historic artworks and objects in conversation with works by contemporary artists, Rise Up explores the battle to abolish the British slave trade and end enslavement between 1750 and 1850, as well as the aftermath, its legacies and the ongoing struggle for equality and social justice today.
Focusing on the individuals whose contributions were vital to the British abolition story, our latest exhibition shines a light on the often-forgotten Black Georgians and Victorians, and commemorates the resistance leaders and revolutionaries across the Caribbean, Europe and the Americas; from Jamaican freedom fighter, Nanny of the Maroons to Nigerian-born, British-based writer and abolitionist Olaudah Equiano.
