No Colour Bar
''No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960–1990'' is a major public art and archives exhibition, the first of its kind in the UK, held at the Guildhall Art Gallery, City of London, over a six-month period (10 July 2015 – 24 January 2016),〔("No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960-1990" ), The Radical Lives of Eric & Jessica Huntley website.〕 with a future digital touring exhibition,〔FHALMA, ("Volunteers in Action" ), Huntleys Online: "''No Colour Bar''′s presence and reach throughout 2016 is further extended via a digital touring exhibition at the Black Cultural Archives, Hackney Community College and Hackney Museum."〕 and an associated programme of events.〔("No Colour Bar: programme of events" ), FHALMA, Huntleys Online.〕 Comprising contemporary fine art combined with archive materials, the multi-media exhibition features the work of seminal Black British artists and historically significant activists,〔 and was described by Colin Prescod (chair of the Institute of Race Relations) as an "exposition of startling and radical imaginative works, addressing grand British cultural and historical matters, and touching on themes of existential and social restlessness".〔 Within the exhibition is a purpose-built interactive installation by Michael McMillan, in conjunction with sound and visual specialists Dubmorphology,〔("About" ), Gary Stewart website.〕 that recreates the famed Walter Rodney Bookshop,〔William Axtell, ("Guildhall celebrates black British artists with No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action" ), Culture24, 9 July 2015.〕 which was formerly located in west Ealing, functioning as a cultural hub of the community until it closed at the beginning of the 1990s.〔Margaret Andrews, ''Doing Nothing is Not An Option: The Radical Lives of Eric & Jessica Huntley'', Middlesex, England: Krik Krak, 2014, p. 148. ISBN 978-1-908415-02-8.〕
==Background==
''No Colour Bar'' takes its impetus from the cultural and political work of Guyanese activists Eric and Jessica Huntley, founders of the pioneering Black publishing house Bogle-L'Ouverture Publications (commemorating Caribbean resistance heroes Toussaint L'Ouverture of Haiti and Paul Bogle of Jamaica), whose papers, business and personal, archive materials and collections were deposited in 2005 at London Metropolitan Archives (LMA), the first significant deposit there of records from the African-Caribbean community in London. Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund,〔("Reflecting London’s diversity through art" ), Heritage Lottery Fund, 16 January 2015.〕 the exhibition is a collaboration between LMA, the Friends of the Huntley Archives at LMA (FHALMA), and the Guildhall Art Gallery, supported by the City of London.〔("Exhibition: No Colour Bar" ), The City of London.〕 The exhibition aims to provide "an innovative look at Black British cultural identities, heritage and creative voices - and the struggle Black British artists faced to have their voices heard - from the 1960s to the 1990s"; according to project manager Beverley Mason: "To have created this culturally important archive and arts exhibition marks a valuable shift in thinking about the approach to opening up and enlivening archives and historical art collections worldwide."〔("No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960-1990 – Ground Breaking Revolutionary Archive and Art Exhibition in the Heart of the City" ), Black History Month 2015.〕
The exhibition is designed as a multimedia interactive experience, in which "art, sculpture, photographs and paintings can be explored next to letters and other artefacts illustrating how black artists were influenced by the emergence of independent African and Caribbean states, global liberation struggles and the struggle for dignified citizenship within Britain."〔
The installation at its centre〔("Blog: No Colour Bar. A Celebration of Black British Art at Guildhall Art Gallery" ), Guided Walks in London, 13 July 2015.〕 (which necessitated the unprecedented covering up of the gallery's largest painting, John Singleton Copley's ''The Siege of Gibraltar''),〔("'No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960-1990' new Exhibition at Guildhall Art Gallery" ), Miss B Takes a Walk, 5 August 2015.〕〔Guildhall Art Gallery and London's Roman Amphitheatre, ("No Colour Bar - The Copley cover up!" ), Facebook.〕 recreates the bookshop named in honour of assassinated historian Walter Rodney, and serves to show something of the connection between the championing of black writers, such as Linton Kwesi Johnson or Lemn Sissay, and the support of black artists — such as Errol Lloyd and George "Fowokan" Kelly — through commissions for book covers, posters, greetings cards or the sale of works of art in the shop.〔Louise Jury, ("New London exhibition recreates pioneering black bookshop" ), ''Evening Standard'', 9 July 2015.〕〔Angela Cobbinah, ("No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960-1990" ), ''Camden Review'', 16 July 2015.〕〔Amandla Thomas-Johnson, ("Preserving Britain’s Black Heroes" ), ''The Voice'', 10 July 2015.〕
