Beyond the Bassline: 500 Years of Black British Music exhibition
The British Library has launched the Beyond the Bassline: 500 Years of Black British Music exhibition which opened on Friday 26 April and is running until 26 August 2024.
The exhibition shines a spotlight on different voices and perspectives to celebrate Black British music as a form of entertainment and vehicle for community, as well as a source of liberation, protest and education.
In conjunction with this exhibition, as a member of the Living Knowledge Network, Camden Libraries are displaying free-standing Beyond the Bassline panels in four libraries and are also planning music events at each of the four libraries.
Beyond the Bassline: 500; Exhibition Touring dates:
- Swiss Cottage Library: 26 April to 31 May 2024
- Holborn Library: 1 June to 27 June 2024
