‘NSLAVE’ 2007
‘NSLAVE’ 2007
International Slavery Museum
Liverpool, UK (Donation)
The Museum of Slavery opened in Liverpool in September 2007, attended by dignitaries from all over the world. Harry Belafonte’s speech about slavery was one of the highlights of the grand gala at St-Georges-Hall. Artist David Begbie was approached earlier this year to work on a sculpture to donate to the museum.
“NSLAVE” was auctioned at the opening and raised a substantial amount of money.
In the pictures: High Commissioner for Jamaica Burchell Whitman, Joline Whitman with Harry Belafonte, Theresa and Andrew Roberts, art critique Edward Lucie-Smith, David and Eva Begbie and the donated wire-mesh sculpture 'NSLAVE' 2007, a unique artwork made from wire mesh depicting a bound slave.
