SUMMARY:The Royal Standard: The Royal Standard: If We Are Going to Heal\, L
 et it Be Glorious’
DESCRIPTION:If We Are Going to Heal\, Let it Be Glorious’\n\nPV\, Thursda
 y 7th from 5.30pm-8.30pm\n\nBlack Blossoms is an organisation which aims 
 to amplify the voices of black women in the creative industries will be go
 ing on an art exhibition tour across the UK. The first location is The Roy
 al Standard Gallery in Liverpool from 7th - 30th September  2017. The ex
 hibition will be exploring socio-political issues\, feminism and self love
  from the perspective of self identifying black women artists\, living in 
 Britain in 2017.\n\nThe artist on tour  include\;  The “I’m Tired”
   Project who  have been previously commended by David Cameron\, they ha
 ve created a new body of work exclusively for Black Blossoms  focusing  
 on microaggressions young black women creatives face.  Heather Agyepong w
 ho was recently selected as one of the top 10 female photographers devoted
  to social justice by Mashables and upcoming artist's J C Cowan’s whose 
 work focuses on individuality and Camila  Mica Daniels who focuses on sex
 uality and consent. \n\nThe exhibition title ‘If We are Going to Heal\,
  Let it Be Glorious’  was inspired by Beyonce’s Grammys 2017 performa
 nce. Founder and creative director Bee Tajudeen believes\, “the exhibiti
 on marks a new era of black British women no longer being afraid to creati
 vely and boldly respond to the political and social climate which is havin
 g an affect on their daily lives.” With anti-immigration sentiments on t
 he rise and women marching across America and Europe to voice their dissat
 isfaction with austerity\, politics and sexism\,  "this exhibition put th
 e concerns of black women at the forefront and provides a space for healin
 g and comfort." \n\nBlack Blossoms first exhibition was held in Universit
 y of the Arts London (UAL) Showroom and was a major success\, Natalie Stev
 ens\, UAL’s events and showcasing coordinator stated “ It was the mos
 t highly attended exhibition of our entire programme since opening in 2012
 .  This proved the relevance and importance of the exhibition and how few
  opportunities and showcases there are in the UK supporting black women in
  the creative industries.”\n\nThe touring exhibition will go to Liverpoo
 l\, Sheffield\, Leeds\, Birmingham and London and is a must see for all to
  see and hear black women being glorious.
