Dear friend,
In two weeks, we will be launching our exhibition: It’s the debt that you owe: colonialism, debt and resistance.
This is a multidisciplinary art exhibition exploring the legacy of colonialism and the global debt crisis of today. We will feature new work by artists with personal connections to countries that have a history of colonialism or are currently in debt crisis.
** When: 8 – 17 November
Time: 12pm – 9pm
Where: Peckham Levels, 96a Rye Lane, London, SE15 4ST

Here’s an exclusive sneak preview of some of the artists and their works:

Nicola Constantina's piece explores debt injustice, highlighting the natural resources stripped from the global South through capitalism, imperialism, and colonisation.
** “I want to create a dialogue around not only the poverty these debts are creating in countries that are actually resource-rich, but I also want people to question why they are experiencing poverty in the first place” - Nicola Constantina

Nadina Ali has produced a piece with textiles on canvas called No More Exploitation. This explores how the global North owes the global South debt cancellation as compensation for the exploitation of wealth and resources.
** “With 'No More Exploitation', I am arguing the case for debt cancellation as a just solution to liberate the global South from the global North’s financial oppression.” - Nadina Ali

Jelly Cleaver has written, produced and performed a song called It's the Debt (We Won't Pay), about the debt owed for the history of colonialism and slavery and the overwhelming responsibility for climate breakdown by the global North.
** "Instead of paying reparations for these debts, the global North continues neo-colonial relations through forcing unjust debt repayments and building hostile and fortified borders for migrants. The injustice of this "debt" is focused in the song's question "tell me what we'll do about it?" - Jelly Cleaver
