London Mayor announced six leading artists shortlisted for a transatlantic slavery victims' memorial in West India Quay, highlighting London's historical ties to the slave trade.
Selected works propose honoring victims through diverse artistic representations like pavilions, boat metaphors, stone inscriptions, and children's roles in the slave trade.
The memorial aims to acknowledge London's support of slavery and promote better representation of diversity through art and a learning program.
Mayor's commitment of £500,000 towards the memorial is part of a broader initiative for diversity in the public realm and recognizing the city's historical connections to slavery.
