From The Caribbean to Coventry – Plotting the Rise of 2Tone
January 12, 2024 - May 25, 2024
Our Barbican exhibition is a journey that starts in France and Belgium at the time of the Great War and ends in 1980’s Coventry. The exhibition will explore the hugely positive influences on British youth culture that Caribbean immigration has brought, and continues to bring to the United Kingdom. Using music genres and fashion as the touch points the show will include architecture, art and literature as well as direct contributions from fans and ‘faces’ alike.
An Exhibition for the fans by the fans going some way to explain not just what 2Tone is but why and how we got there!
