Journey to Justice

Our exhibition enjoyed a month of activity at the magnificent Library of Birmingham after a splendid launch. We had time to work with school groups and develop lasting partnerships.

JtoJ Brent was on display in the summer of 2019 at the Library at Willesden Green with powerful examples of local activism, the Freedom of the Borough awarded to Nelson Mandela and stunning examples of activism via textiles, visual arts and poetry.

Bristol was proud to host the Journey to Justice travelling exhibition in October 2017. We worked with a wide range of community groups, public organisations, volunteers and supporters who share our commitment to celebrate the history of social justice.

Keen to bring our exhibition programme to their city, we planned a taster session with our partners which took place on November 29th 2019 at People First.

Our exhibition was at the stunning new Shire Hall Historic Courthouse Museum, Dorchester from June to August 2018. It looked great, together with a very impressive new permanent exhibition bringing 200 years of justice and injustice to life.

We look forward to bringing the travelling exhibition to Edinburgh one day, following a successful taster session.
Stay posted for updates.

JtoJ ran a vibrant taster day with Hull University and WISE (Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation) in November 2016. There is significant interest in bringing our exhibition to the city.

Our main partner for Islington JtoJ (April-June 2019) was Resource for London where the exhibition was on display and most events held. We worked with seven key community partners and told less told stories of local people who worked for social justice in the borough.

Our travelling exhibition was at beautiful Morley College Gallery (January 2017) telling stories of less well-known men, women and children who were involved in the US civil rights movement with links to local struggles for equality.

The travelling exhibition programme was in Leicester for two dynamic weeks in October 2019 planned by a local team and on display at the Attenborough Arts Centre.

In 2015 we ran a pilot of our unique approach to human rights education with stories, history, the arts & understanding social change. Working with students at George Mitchell School, Leyton, east London, it made a great impact.

JtoJ Liverpool welcomed a phenomenal 147,000 visitors during its six months at the International Slavery Museum. Check out the Liverpool exhibition page to see what a fantastic impact the exhibition had between October 2018-April 2019.

The JtoJ exhibition was installed in Brittan Hall at Teesside University as part of its Black History Month in October 2016. Students and staff volunteered to welcome visitors and it was promoted across campus and to local schools and community organisations.

This is where the JtoJ travelling exhibition kicked off back in April 2015. Hosted at Discovery Museum, the citywide programme of events was full of fascinating talks, walks, screenings and concerts. A Newcastle JtoJ group continues to organise events including to mark 100 years since some women won the right to vote.

The JtoJ travelling exhibition opened at Beckton Globe Library in Newham, east London March and April 2018. With a strong focus on music and Newham stories in partnership with Living Song CIC.

The Nottingham JtoJ team ran a rich exhibition programme April-June 2017 at the National Justice Museum with local community organisations and schools.

Sheffield hosted the exhibition from May – June 2016 organised by a dedicated local team. We received really positive feedback, “This is a really powerful and beautifully assembled exhibition… Wonderfully interesting, moving and inspiring, that deserves very high coverage. Thank you.”

In November 2016, the JtoJ travelling exhibition left Sunderland, but its legacy and spirit lives on. Lindsey Mullan, JtoJ Sunderland co-ordinator, says the exhibition “served as a reminder that although Sunderland lies in a small corner of the world, it is a city with a wealth of experience relating to social justice issues.

The exhibition reached Tower Hamlets in December 2016. Developing partnerships with Rich Mix, the Humanities Education Centre, Idea Store, Swadhinata Trust, Girlz United, the V&A Museum of Childhood, as well as many other groups and individuals.
