Located on College Green from 14 – 31 October 2022, the groundbreaking free experience will explore themes ranging from Mother Africa to Still We Rise and Expanding Soul with an enormous range of interpretations and creative styles. The sculptures are an invitation for people, families, businesses, and communities to talk together about how they understand their history; how the past—particularly the UK’s relationship with the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans—shapes the future; and how to act for social change to make racial justice a reality.

Bristol’s sculpture trail has been created by the artists Emma Blake Morsi, Godfried Donkor, BS51, Oshii Rowan, Bandele Iyapo, Adam Grose, Felix FLX Braun, Jasmine Thompson, 3dom, Michele Curtis.

Supported by Bristol City Council, the Globes will be on College Green over the half term holidays. For parents looking to introduce their children with the history and cause of racial justice, The World Reimagined also offers free online resources for artistic and creative activities they can do at home to start the conversation. The resources build on its Learning Programme that has been delivered in more than 200 schools over the last year, which saw many schools in Bristol create their own smaller Globe sculptures.
