About

Through a range of thought-provoking exhibitions, workshops, talks, and performances, 'Playing the Race Card' creates a town-wide conversation on race, identity and social justice.

It was started in 2020 by local Hastings resident Claudine Eccleston in response to her own experiences of this diminishing term. It is produced with Home Live Art and a Working Group of community members.
