Join us as artist Sandra Suubi brings her work to the streets of Liverpool for the ‘Samba Gown’ procession.

Currently displayed in the centre of Open Eye Gallery, Sandra Suubi’s ‘Samba Gown’ is a statement of resistance. A procession in the Samba Gown is used as a metaphor for what happened when Uganda (bride) entered a binding contract with its former colonisers (groom). The work draws attention to the transactional relationship that exists between former colonies and their colonisers.

The procession will run from Open Eye Gallery at 4:30pm, finishing at Bluecoat at 5:30pm. Please note that this procession takes place outdoors and warm, weatherproof clothes are advised. The event will go ahead in the event of light rain, but please do check out social media channels for updates in the event of adverse weather.
