Beyond the Bassline

Beyond the Bassline Exhibition

Inspire are delighted to be hosting a taster of the Beyond the Bassline Exhibition on show from April 2024 at the British Library in London. The exhibition shines a spotlight on different voices and perspectives to celebrate Black British music as a form of entertainment and vehicle for community, as well as a source of liberation, protest and education.

Stepping into carnivals, clubs and record shops across the country, Beyond the Bassline draws on different places that have cultivated creative expression and inspired a number of Black British music genres.

Whilst on show at Nottinghamshire Archives enjoy seeing items from our own collection that highlight Nottinghamshire’s history linked to the Beyond the Bassline themes.

Beyond the Bassline will be in Living Knowledge Network Libraries across the UK from 26 April 2024 to 26 August 2024.
