Designs4Change art competition

Did you know this year marks the 60th anniversary of the Race Relations Act 1965?  A pivotal moment in British history, it was the first legislation to outlaw racial discrimination in public places, laying the foundations for the equalities framework we uphold today.

This anniversary is a time to reflect not just on how far we’ve come, but where we are now and what still needs to change. 

National art competition 

Following the success of the Bristol Bus Boycott 360 campaign, Clear Channel is teaming up once again with Curiosity UnLtd, a Bristol-based think tank known for driving conversations around racial equity and social justice. This time to launch a national art competition, inviting creatives across the UK to reflect on and respond to the legacy of the Race Relations Act 1965.
