Would you like to sponsor part of a major city wide Arts Trail in Brighton in 2022?
Brighton and Hove City Council has signed up for the city to become a host city for The World Reimagined - a ground-breaking national art education project to transform how we understand the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its impact on all of us, as a key step to making racial justice a reality in our communities and city.
We ask you to join us in making that powerful commitment to racial equality.

The World Reimagined - What It Is
The World Reimagined will see a trail of large Globe sculptures across Brighton and Hove in the summer of 2022, created by artists to bring to life the reality and impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Globes will be created by both established and undiscovered artists, alongside Globes created through unique collaborations that bring together communities and icons with artists. The trails will be the centre of a broader learning and engagement programme - with schools, community groups, sporting and cultural institutions across Brighton and Hove taking part. The World Reimagined is a vibrant project that will inspire pride in what it means to be Black and British and help us all better understand what it means to be British. You can find out more at www.theworldreimagined.org.
The Learning Programme will be available and accessed by schools across Brighton and Hove.
With Sky as its Official Presenting Partner and confirmed to take place in 8 cities (Birmingham, Brighton & Hove, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool City Region, London and Swansea), The World Reimagined will drive huge interest. As we know from previous sculpture trails - they have enormous audiences with deep engagement and significant impact. For example, when ‘Gromit Unleashed’ took place in Bristol in 2013, 1.18m people actively engaged with the trails, delivering a direct economic impact of £77m.
