Black spaces that existed in Cardiff and Wales have been systematically eroded, spaces where communities live and gather are still being taken away. Cardiff used to be a capital of the world where people would come for live music.The coal exchange and docks brought people from all over the world on ships, but Tigerbay was seen as dangerous. Prejudice, systemic racism and city planning which did not, does not, value the contributions of our communities have undermined and eroded historical Black spaces. “I WAS TAKEN TO THE MUSEUM AS A KID (…) I’D LIKE TO SEE MORE DIVERSE EXHIBITIONS AND ARTISTS THERE. THE SPACE IS NICE BUT THE WORK DOESN’T INSPIRE ME.”; “THEY SHOULD DO EVENTS MORE REGULARLY THERE SO WE CAN PUT ON OUR WORK, LIKE THE TATE LATES MONTHLY TAKEOVERS.”
