Catch Tapestry of Black Britons at Hastings Museum & Art Gallery this autumn. Its five large-scale woven artworks tell the story of almost 2,000 years of African and Caribbean presence in Britain.
Created by Jamaican-Haitian-British artist Paula Ogun Hector, the exhibition shows how Black history not a seperate narrative – it is deeply woven into British heritage.
Local embroiderers and Hastings Academy students have also created the ‘Hastings Bayeux’ especially for the exhibition. Their piece offers a modern and local reimagining of the famous 1066 story.
The exhibition runs from 10th October to 8th November 2026. Entry and parking are free.
Hastings Museum & Art Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 am to 5 pm, and Sundays, 11 am to 4:30 pm.
