Examining personal and local history
Abolition of slavery project, English Heritage, Birmingham
Karina worked with creative writer Ava Ming and women from Sparkbrook, Birmingham on a project exploring Abolitionist Quakers in Birmingham and their own experiences of Black History. Inspired by Rachel Howard, a 19th Century Quaker who put pamphlets in fabric bags she had made and then sold them to raise funds for freed slaves, they worked with Ava to create text and Karina to create textile bags.
The touring exhibition of this work won two regional exhibition awards.
