The format of the Light Night will not be very different from the previous Long Nights, although this time the evening will start as family friendly as we can but it doesn’t have to end up like that!

From FRIDAY 19 March – 12 September 2010 the International Slavery Museum hosts Beyond the Boundary , an exhibition of powerful and emotive photographs exploring aspects of cricket that have not been seen before. Beyond the Boundary explores the relationship between cricket, culture, class and politics and how it can be seen as a legacy of British imperialism and colonialism and, paradoxically, as a means of resistance against it.
Through photographs featuring cricketers such as Viv Richards, Paul Adams and Basil D’Oliveira, the exhibition celebrates contemporary players who, by playing in the boundary of the cricket pitch, broke the boundaries of racial apartheid. Beyond the Bounda ry explores the story of enslavement and oppression of people from the African Diaspora globally, and their deep connections with cricket.
