Anti-Slavery International has produced

to the 21st Century, Human Traffic, and Hands Up for Freedom
available for hire free of charge except for the cost of transport,
which is charged at cost.
Campaigning against Slavery, from the 18th to the 21st Century
This 16-panel A2 (42cm x 59.4 cm) exhibition takes the audience
on a visual journey through history from the time of the Transatlantic
Slave Trade to slavery in contemporary society. It also looks at
how slavery has been challenged through
popular campaigning and by the development of international standards
to prohibit them.
Recovered Histories: Reawakening the narratives of enslavement,
resistance and the fight for freedom
This 17-panel A2 (42cm x 59.4 cm) exhibition looks at the Transatlantic
Slave Trade, the enslavement of Africans in the Caribbean, and their
fight for liberation and their emancipation. It focuses on the narratives
of the enslaved, enslavers, abolotionists, parlimentarians, clergy,
planters and rebels. It is based on Anti-Slavery International's
collection of 18th and 19th century literature which it has recently
digitised and made available through http://www.recoveredhistories.org
Human Traffic
Human Traffic is a 16 panel (51x41cm)
black and white exhibition, which
documents the trafficking of children in Benin and Gabon, West Africa.
It
is a testament to the extraordinary bravery and courage of children
who
have been manipulated, deceived, beaten and raped by the adults
who enslave them. It reaches behind the headlines, looking at the
people who are
fighting for these children's rights and asks what can be done to
bring an
end to this horrific trade.
Ideal for galleries and creative art spaces, as well as schools
and
libraries, the exhibition is a powerful and visual educational tool.
Library Exhibition
This 12 panel colour exhibition promotes Anti-Slavery Internationals
library. It demonstrates how relevant our collections of literature,
photos and videos are to an anyone studying such issues as human
rights, gender, imperialism, colonialism, labour history, development,
and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Aimed at an academic audience we hope it will encourage more use
of the library and will extend awareness and further the understanding
of the issue of slavery.
