Standing In This Place

Standing In This Place has a new dedicated website

Take a look through the Standing In This Place website, an arts and heritage project co-created by sculptor Rachel Carter in response to the work of the Legacy Makers group formed in 2014 by Bright Ideas Nottingham and the collaborative community-academic Global Cotton Connections project.

It looks to highlight the contributions and connections between white mill workers and black enslaved women uprooted to the Americas, showing how their stories and histories are connected by cotton, sorrow, strength and resilience.
