October’s No Room for Racism campaign falls as part of the wider Black History Month campaign.
As communicated earlier this week, the Club is celebrating Black History Month with a sculptural installation, We Stand Together created by Greater Manchester artist and designer Liam Hopkins of LAZERIAN.
Inspired by football’s power to bring people together, the work celebrates how individual stories contribute to a shared sense of representation, community and belonging.
The sculpture features eight portraits of Manchester City players, Rico Lewis, Jade Rose, along with supporters and staff, Bibi, Kwesi and Jahmal Williams-Thomas Dean, Victoria and Aadi.
Their portraits are carried by steel figures inspired by Subbuteo players and L.S. Lowry’s Going to the Match. Their stories an integral part of the sculpture.
The installation is connected by a knitted football scarf featuring words from Lemn Sissay’s poem The Stadium Speaks, reflecting this year’s Black History Month theme, “Honouring our communities”.
The artwork aims to honour Black and mixed heritage people who make up the Manchester City family and will remain on display until the end of October.
Among those featured in the portrait series, is Jahmal Williams-Thomas, City Matters’ Black and Mixed Heritage Representative. In tomorrow’s Manchester City v Ipswich matchday programme, he shares his thoughts a year on from his previous interview.
Jahmal speaks on the important topics of Black representation, the personal connection he has with Moss Side an area integral to the Club’s heritage and his past year as a City Matters representative.
