Our Multicultural Network organised a trip for colleagues to visit Edinburgh Printmakers yesterday to experience two exhibitions - "Intersection" by Ade Adesina and "Stories of the Unseen" by Tayo Adekunle. Intersection combines influences from Ade’s African roots, British culture, and travels into captivating landscapes, while Tayo's exhibition re-examines stories about blackness from a different perspective, challenging narratives that have been taught historically. Inclusion, diversity and wellbeing adviser, Leeanne Dunko said, "Our Multicultural Network has put on a fantastic and varied programme of communications and events throughout Black History Month, with this visit being one of them. "It's been great for colleagues across the firm to connect and learn more about what the network has planned for the next few months too." #BlackHistoryMonth
