Trophies of Empire – Catalogue

Series nameExhibitions & Catalogues
Description

The catalogue for ‘Trophies of Empire’ was published in 1994, two years after the fifteen commissions were awarded, and a year after the ‘Trophies of Empire’ exhibitions ended in Bristol, Liverpool, and Hull. The digitised images from this catalogue feature the front cover, an introduction to the ‘Trophies of Empire’ concept written Bryan Biggs, the then Director of Bluecoat Gallery in 1993, and the text and image dedicated to Juginder Lamba’s contribution to the project entitled ‘The Cry’. The sculpture was first showcased in Hull, in the garden at Wilberforce House – the original home of, and now a museum devoted to, William Wilberforce MP, the so-called “architect of abolition” – and then in the Bluecoat Gallery’s garden. ‘The Cry’ sculpture was subsequently shown on the quayside at the opening of Liverpool’s Transatlantic Slavery Museum.
