These Things Matter: Empire, Exploitation and Everyday Racism is a startling new exhibition exploring the devastating and long-term effects of the British Empire, curated in partnership with the Museum of Colour (MoC) and Oxford-based charity Fusion Arts.

These Things Matter shows how every day communications maintained the British Empire and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Discover how maps, letters and even the Bible were edited deliberately to manipulate millions of people and to justify the value of trading African bodies.

These Things Matter is a Museum of Colour exhibition in partnership with the Bodleian Libraries and Fusion Arts.
