About this Event

Beyond the Bassline: 500 years of Black British Music


  • 29 June - 24 August 2024
  • Hull Central Library
  • Free


Our new exhibition, part of the British Library’s , 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.
