"The importance of representation of Black and Brown choreographers in the UK contemporary dance sector cannot be overstated. It is essential for the next generation of dancers and choreographers to see themselves reflected in this industry’s history. The Museum of Colour’s exhibition not only celebrates the achievements and lasting impact these choreographers have made, it also testifies how they have shaped over the years the UK contemporary dance landscape nationally and internationally.

Seeing this exhibition comes to life makes the little black dancer smile in me, knowing that the future generation will be able to see themselves in this landscape and be empowered by the achievements of those who have come before them is a game changer. It is a powerful reminder and a catalyst for continued progress and inclusivity in the UK dance sector."
