Touring photographic exhibition that aims to help people recognise the signs of slavery and exploitation.
Invisible People is part of the National Crime Agency’s campaign to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking.
“Slavery was abolished in the UK in 1807 yet more than 200 years on it still exists. Modern slavery is a crime which seeks out the most vulnerable men, women and children and abuses them for criminal profit.
“This is not about other people. Modern slaves are in our communities. Sometimes they are right before our eyes, yet we don’t really see them.
“The NCA has teamed up with photographers including Juliette Carton, Haitham Naser and multiple-award-winner Rory Carnegie to recreate the lives of Invisible People and bring them into view as part of this exhibition.
“The striking and intimate images encourage the public to truly see what they may have been looking at for years.”
The free exhibition can be viewed at the Centre Promenade on Jan 13 & 14, as part of a nationwide tour.
