It Wisnae Us: the truth about Glasgow and slavery
1 – 31 October, 2025
CRER’s ‘It Wisnae Us’ exhibition will be displayed in the Hunterian Museum. The exhibition provides an insight into the role of transatlantic slavery in Glasgow’s past, telling a story through the buildings and streets that have a tangible link with slavery. Illustrating the links between tobacco, slavery and abolition, it also inspired the book of the same title.
