In the Spotlight: a History of Black Performers in Morecambe
This exhibition highlights the untold stories of Black performers in Morecambe from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. Drawing on archival material and personal stories, the exhibition will aim to celebrate the lives of individuals who performed in Morecambe, bringing their stories to light, to enrich the narrative of Morecambe's entertainment history and foster dialogue about representation and inclusion. It's a celebration of creativity and resilience, inspiring new connections between past and present.
This exhibition is an expanded version of the one shown at Lancaster City Museum earlier this year. It features many objects from the museums' collections and elsewhere which weren't included in the smaller exhibition.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication with more details on the people featured.
