The World Reimagined

Thirty-six globes, one groundbreaking outdoor art experience: see The World Reimagined at the National Maritime Museum.

The World Reimagined aims to transform how we understand the transatlantic slave trade and its impact on all of us, in order to make racial justice a reality.

A series of giant globes, each adorned with a unique artwork, are laid out across the lawns of the National Maritime Museum.

From internationally recognised artists including Yinka Shonibare and Vashti Harrison to a host of emerging talents, together the works aim to "explore the world as it is and the world as it could be".

Each globe takes you on a journey of discovery, exploring themes including slavery and emancipation, racial justice, community and hopeful visions for the future.

Throughout 2022 The World Reimagined toured the UK, with public sculpture trails set up in seven different cities from London to Liverpool.

Now the globes have arrived in Greenwich, and will be on display every day throughout the summer – including during landmark celebration days such as World Oceans Day and the 75th anniversary of the Windrush's arrival in Britain.

See them for free outside the National Maritime Museum, and find out more about each globe on The World Reimagined website.
