Permeating within Gallery 2 during the exhibition Small Mercies is an evolving and ‘trickling’ installation of moving image from Matthew Arthur Williams and others. Between 19 – 21 June, you can see Caribbean Voices (2011), a film produced by Monienne Stone and Ray Johnson, founder of Staffordshire Film Archive.

Caribbean Voices is a documentary that captures the memories of Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire’s Caribbean Community, who tell their stories in their own words. Many interviews highlight their contribution to the area over the years and their vital role in the history of Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire. They share their experiences moving to England in the late 1950s/early 60s. Also featured is the work of the Caribbean organisations in the area and the pioneers that created them, who are tirelessly working to improve the lives of their community—CCMA, NORSACA and Midlands Jamaica Aid.
