About Playing the Race Card
Playing the Race Card is a programme of activities and events in Hastings using art and creativity to create a space for a town-wide conversation on race. The project was created by local resident Claudine Eccleston in response to her own experiences.
It is led by the local Black community who have formed a voluntary-run Working Group to help shape the vision of the project. The Working Group is supported by Home Live Art, a local arts charity with 25 years of producing experience.
