Maritime Museum.

Last week we visited the Maritime Museum in the albert dock. At first I was confused about this visit, seeing as there's no actual 'art' in there.

However, we were taken on a tour and told facts and figures about the slave trade, in which our interest was maintained. I remember being young and taking a firm interest in this museum; not understanding why anyone would be so mistreated.
There was an installation which has been specifically designed to give out a feeling of opression, and gives you an insight into the harsh degree of suffering that was had on board a slave ship; it gives you an idea of just how much suffering a human can actually take.

This visit hasn't directly affected my work in the short term, however in the long term I do feel I may address some of these issues that have been raised throughout the museum.
