Story
Annually The Mighty Creatives support 1000s of children and young people living in poverty across the region. They challenge the issues resulting from child & young people in need by providing access to, and progression through, arts, cultural and creative opportunities their lives would otherwise ill afford.
In light of the Black Lives Matter movement that has caused great reflection on the societal injustice racism has impacted across the globe, we feel its important that this year's Mighty Challenge focuses on supporting of The World Reimagined and their Community programme.
The Mighty Challenge 2022 is supporting The World Reimagined's programme by sponsoring local artists and young people to produce one of Leicester's Globe Sculpture. This is 1 of 10 stunning globe sculptures in an art trail displayed across the streets of Leicester, highlighting the reality and impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
"If we're going to make racial justice a reality for all, it calls on us to courageously face our shared history with honesty, empathy and grace. If we do that, we can create a future in which everyone can say I'm seen. That's the mission of The World Reimagined and were so delighted to work with the people and communities of Leicester."
Michelle Gayle, co-founder of The World Reimagined.
