Museum for Mothers of Black Bodies Murdered in State Custody Exhibition

Museum for Mothers of Black Bodies Murdered in State Custody is an exhibition curated by the multi-award-winning poet and Squad Core Team member Malika Booker.

The exhibition at Manchester Poetry Library, running from 10 April – 6 September is the most recent iteration of what the author describes as ‘an impossible experiment’. Part testament, part accounting, part cathedral, part prayer, part memorial, part legacy, part historical reckoning, the Museum aims to curate the ongoing crimes by the state (be it colonial, western, contemporary) subjected onto Black bodies.
