No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960 –1990, was one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of Black British art in recent years, with themes that examined the space for Black arts and cultural practices in Britain; the struggles against oppression and injustice; movements of resistance to and activism against racism, political violence and inequality; and the embracing of a new internationalism through solidarity, collaboration and creativity.
The No Colour Bar publication contains artist profiles and reproductions of some of the key artworks that were featured in the Guildhall Art Gallery exhibition, and with its documentation of the narratives and responses from expert voices, the book has become one of the legacies of this ground-breaking exhibition and touring programme.
