Think back to those weird early days of the pandemic, a long hot summer we weren’t really supposed to enjoy. When the whole city (bar those toiling in front line services) decanted cautiously into London’s parks, to walk, to sit, to doze, to breathe easy.
That’s where the idea for this exhibition, curated by Lisa Anderson, director of the Black Cultural Archives, came from. A moment when everyone was forced outside into their local landscape and, in the main, found joy and solace there.
