To promote the positive representation of Black British creatives, a poster campaign is featuring a series of portraits of cultural contributors and activists to build their profiles.

The campaign from Underexposed Arts, an organization that celebrates and promotes positive representation of Black British and Dual Heritage African/Caribbean people, sees the first series of portraits released by award winning visual artist Franklyn Rodgers and is sponsored by Amazon.

Titled “The Next Gen” by agency Neverland, the first 10 posters in the series will feature Sheila Atim, Chidera Eggerue, Nathalie Emmanuel, Izzy Bizu, Sophia Thakur, Faisal Abdu’allah, Harry Pinero, Kye Whyte, Nicholas Pinnock and Jamal Edwards.

The portraits were produced to inspire young people’s sense of self-identity, confidence and aspiration through this prominent platforming of diverse talent.
