Last Sunday, we were treated to an in-conversation between acclaimed artist Shaqúelle Whyte and celebrated actor Omari Douglas.

Together, they reflected on their experiences of growing up in Wolverhampton and what the city means to them, moving to London to pursuit creative careers, and how creativity and self-expression are central to their lives.

As Shaqúelle Whyte: Shattered Dreams draws to a close, this is your final opportunity to experience the exhibition. If you haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to miss out, it’s on until closing, at 4:30pm, tomorrow.
