The World Reimagined installs 96 artist-designed globes in Trafalgar Square in racial equality exhibition

The World Reimagined's final installation of 96 globe sculptures, including my own globe ‘Echoes Talk Back’, will be on display at London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 November.

The globes have all been designed by artists and aim to inspire and galvanise communities to better understand what it means to be Black and British; bringing to life the reality and impact of the transatlantic slave trade.

The public will be able to view the globes and then bid on them in an online auction held by Bonhams online only now from November 17 through until November 25.

The World Reimagined is a ground-breaking education project. Over 100 large-scale globes were exhibited in cities across the UK during the summer, each bearing the commentary of the artists both on the slave trade, as well as their past, present and future relationships with Britain.

“The core mission of The World Reimagined is to engage the public to learn about the impact of the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans,” said Ashley Shaw Scott Adjaye, Artistic Director of The World Reimagined. “To have a public exhibition in Trafalgar Square, in the heart of the capital where so many people can interact with these glorious works, is incredibly exciting.”
