A new collection of ceramic artworks and poems produced by prisoners at HMP Wandsworth went on display at Museum of London Docklands last week.
Inspired by other slavery-based exhibitions in the gallery, the collection include portraits to symbolic pieces representing the experiences and legacies of slavery.
Wandsworth prison inmates collaborated with staff involved in the creation of the gallery, ceramicist Tunde Akinniranye, sculptor Jennifer Wolf, historian Angelina Osborne and writer Ronnie McGrath.
Lucie Fitton, of the Museum of London Docklands, said: “Our London Sugar & Slavery gallery enables all Londoners to explore the city’s role in transatlantic enslavement. It is important that we share this experience with people who cannot visit the Museum.
“This project, like all of our social inclusion projects, is a two-way street.
"Throughout, the participants gain a wide variety of skills through group working, writing and creativity.
"But their work also helps us to learn more about what London, and its stories, means to people.”
Loss and Liberty runs from August 5 to November 30.
