Artist Lubaina Himid has hand-painted 30 Victorian jelly moulds to celebrate the ongoing contribution of the Black community to the city of Liverpool.  These are models of monuments which will probably never be built.  The ceramic forms are covered in brightly coloured patterns, texts and portraits.  Lubaina chose to use jelly moulds as they symbolise sugar, trade, commerce and pleasure.

This exhibition is part of 'Liverpool and the Black Atlantic', a city-wide series of exhibitions and events.
