UNBOUND

A contemporary art project about FREEDOM not SLAVERY

Exactly 200 years ago slavery was abolished in Britain. Big celebrations have been staged all over the United Kingdom with thousands of pounds spent in order to do so.

In fact and in reality, there is not a region in the world free of this gruesome act, including the United Kingdom. So what was really abolished 200 years ago? What are we celebrating? Who invented slavery in the first place?

These are just some of the reasons why UNBOUND has been created. The group exhibition with international artists, including conceptual work, photography, video, film, installations, live performances and interventions will be launched on Friday  2nd of November 2007 at Contemporary Art Platform, London.
