Gabs worked with lead artist Hannaa Hamdache from The Mighty Creatives on the project, and says her focus was to tell stories of African and UK ancestors who have overcome slavery through art.

“The globe is very colourful with patterns, symbols and imagery which represent people through history who have defeated slavery with sheer determination and strength,” Gabs added.

“When people come to see the finished globe, they have been recognising the people who went before them, and who overcame terrible adversity. It is encouraging people to not give up, and reassuring them that they are not alone and that they should never fear being judged. To have played my part in creating a piece of art that is inspiring people in this way is so exciting.

“I think The Mighty Creatives mission to support creative programmes that allow young people like myself to express themselves is the type of opportunity every member of the global majority should take.”

Hannaa Hamdache, Creative Communities Manager, The Mighty Creatives added: “We are delighted with the finished globe and the encouraging feedback we have received from members of the public. We hope The Mighty Creatives involvement in this project will change perceptions and raise awareness of racial justice in Leicestershire and beyond.”

The Mighty Creatives globe is one of 10 huge sculptures in The World Reimagined free art trail.
