Blaxploitation Exhibition
As part of Black History Month, we showcased a curated collection of Vintage Original Blaxploitation posters. The genre marked it's unofficial 50th anniversary, and what better way to recognise it's importance and impact within society and the Black Community as well as celebrate it's iconic style than exhibit the movie art of these 70's films.
In partnership with We Are Parable, we'll be donating 25% of all profits from the exhibition to support their Momentum initiative mentoring the new generation of Black film-makers, as they break into the industry.
