All God's Children is an exhibition in Bristol Cathedral that explores the impact of the slave economy on Cathedral life, past and present.
All God's Children is part of the Cathedral's work to understand its links with the transatlantic trade of enslaved people.
Research that informed the exhibition discovered that between 1670 and 1900, roughly 1,000 people were buried or memorialised in the Cathedral and its grounds. Around 200 (20%) of them had a close connection to the slavery-based economy.
At the end of the exhibition everyone is invited to comment, reflect and feedback about what they think the Cathedral should do next. We hope that the exhibition will inform a wide-ranging conversation about the stories we tell in the Cathedral, the ways in which we can repair and restore damaged relationships and the ways we can work together for a better future for everyone.
