Black Georgians

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Black Cultural Archives’ new exhibition Black Georgians: The Shock of the Familiar takes you on a journey a long way from these quintessential English images. The exhibit interrogates well-known costume period dramas and the very different existence of hardship, grime, disease, and violence that was the reality for many.
