Hassell’s ‘World Reimagined’ Art Globe In UK

August 16, 2022

A large globe art piece by Bermudian Gherdai Hassell is on display in England as part of the ‘World Reimagined’ programme, which will see the globes on display until October, and then auctioned to raise funds to support “organisations across the UK that work to make racial justice a reality.”

Over 100 globes have been created by various artists, with organisation stating that “each of the globes speaks to one of the nine themes of the Journey of Discovery – ranging from Mother Africa through The Reality of Being Enslaved and Echoes in the Present – which give us the opportunity to reimagine our past, present and future.”

A spokesperson said, “The World Reimagined is a ground-breaking, mass participation art education project to transform how we understand the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its impact.

“The World Reimagined sees trails of large globe sculptures in cities across the UK, including Leeds, until October 2022, created by artists to bring to life the impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

“The trail will be the centre of a broader education and engagement programme, with hundreds of schools, community groups, sporting and cultural institutions taking part across the country. Each globe aims to enable the public to experience, discover and be inspired by art as well as presenting an opportunity to be part of a discourse around racial justice.

“Hassell’s sculpture titled “Onion Seeds: Children of the Enterprise” is inspired by an excerpt of Bermudian author “Mind the Onion Seed” by Nellie Musson, who tells the story of the Enterprise ship in Bermuda. ”

“At the end of the campaign, the Globe sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds that will create a grant-making programme for projects and organisations across the UK that work to make racial justice a reality. Hassell’s sculpture is on view in the city of Leeds At Clay Pitt Lane Pocket Park until October 13.
