NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has marked the end of Black History Month by announcing the commissioning of a giant mural at Glasgow Royal Infirmary (GRI) to celebrate diversity and promote the board’s commitment to reducing health inequality in black maternal health and baby outcomes.
The mural, being designed by Artisan Artworks, will be painted at the entrance to the maternity unit and will add to the city’s growing mural trails. It forms part of a collection of murals to help fight racism in the city. The latest piece of art has been arranged in partnership with Rachel Dallas, the activist behind Black Lives Matter murals in the south side.
The image represents a black mother and daughter from the local community and hopes to shine a light on the challenges facing black mothers and babies as well as ongoing efforts to improve health outcomes for minority communities.
