Coinciding with Hebden Bridge Arts Festival and the 2007 festival theme, HEADS delivered ‘An Unfair Trade’, a visual arts project to commemorate the bi-centenary of the 1807 abolition of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Children and adults from schools and community groups in Hebden and Mytholmroyd worked with Kenyan born artist Ahmed Kungu and Trinidadian born artist John Lyons to make artworks that explore images of the trade in African slaves.

The artworks will be displayed in shop windows in Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd from September onwards.
