Art Inspired by the 1963 Bristol Bus Boycott

To mark 60 years of the Race Relations Act, new artworks have been created to celebrate its legacy during Black History Month.

Ten winning artworks from a national competition will be featured in exhibitions and public events during October, ahead of the anniversary of Britain's first anti-discrimination law in November.

The initiative is part of the Bristol Bus Boycott 360 campaign, which aims to highlight the legacy of the 1963 boycott that played a key role in the passing of the Act.

The winning works reflect themes of justice, equality and protest.

The artworks were unveiled in August on a giant screen at We The Curious in Bristol, marking both the victory of the Bristol Bus Boycott and the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech.
