ASATT (A Seat at the Table vol. 2)

A Seat At The Table is an exhibition giving young Black creatives a platform within a landmark venue, held in celebration of Black History Month. It highlights the influence of Black culture on the UK’s creative landscape while providing space for emerging voices to be seen and celebrated.

Curated by London-based graphic designer Jordan Richings, who draws inspiration from Black British culture and his Caribbean heritage, the exhibition champions representation and celebrates the diversity of artistic expression. A Seat At The Table focuses on amplifying the perspectives of a new generation of Black artists.

Jordan hopes the exhibition opens doors for the creatives involved and affirms the importance of their voices within the wider cultural conversation. Audiences are invited to share in the vibrancy, imagination, and pride that Black art brings, making A Seat At The Table both a celebration and a call to nurture fresh talent in an increasingly inclusive creative landscape.
