The World Reimagined is bringing together over 40 globes from its successful London art trails to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from 2nd to 17th November.

Bring your pupils along to the Park to explore as a self-directed visit and enjoy these ground-breaking globes across Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The World Reimagined is a ground-breaking, vibrant art education project to transform how we understand the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans and its impact on all of us so that we can make racial justice a reality, together. The globes explores black history with themes ranging from Mother Africa to Still We Rise and Expanding Soul with an enormous range of interpretations and creative styles by globally renowned artists including Vashti Harrison, Phoebe Boswell and The World Reimagined’s Founding Artist Yinka Shonibare CBE.

The sculptures are an invitation for everyone from families, friends and local communities to talk together about how they understand their history; how the past—particularly the UK’s relationship with the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans—shapes the future; and how to act for social change to make racial justice a reality.

As people visit the globes, they will also be able to dive into an online collection of short, accessible stories that bring The World Reimagined’s Journey of Discovery themes – which explore the past, present and future – to life.
