What does Black Legacy mean to you? L.E.G.A.C.Y, a group of young creative visionaries bought together on our Creative Ideas Fund programme funded by Today at Apple aimed to find out.

Running for three days in a gallery in Peckham, their debut immersive multimedia exhibition explored the idea of leaving an impact through a selection of artwork, spoken word poetry, film and much more.

“As the young creators of tomorrow, we’re passionate about diversifying spaces and making art accessible to all, belonging to all.”
