No Colour Bar focuses on Black British cultural heritage explored through the lens of the Black Art Movement of the 1960s to the 1990s –a flowering of popular as well as fine art, music, poetry and literature which came out of what were then called Black and Third World migrant-settler communities – African-Caribbean, continental African, Asian and Latin American. The centrepiece of No Colour Bar
is the stunning six-month exhibition at Guildhall Art Gallery which takes place from July and followed by a touring exhibition in 2016. No Colour Bar was created to reach out to wider audiences from the heart of the London and to connect with communities across the capital and the global Diaspora. Developed by Friends of the Huntley Archives at LMA, with the generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), No Colour Bar has flourished to become an important milestone in Black British cultural heritage and the arts calendar through the support and close creative collaboration of partners Guildhall Art Gallery and the London Metropolitan Archives, provided by the City of London Corporation.
