Young, Gifted, and On Track

Celebrating forty years of the Black-E, the exhibition researches the lives of dozens of Black-E ‘alumni/ae’ (former youthful participants, volunteers and apprentices), in order to create an extended exhibition of the youth of the past to inspire the youth of the present. The project aims to identify the impact that The Black-E has had on alumnae, paying particular attention to their potential as role models for young people currently in our community.

Charles has earned both local and international recognition for his work collecting many illustrious awards along the way. The Black-E is working alongside Charles and Gina Tsang and The Liverpool Chinatown Tai Chi Group to promote the art and study of Tai Chi, not only for its obvious health benefits but to also continue with the fine tradition of sharing knowledge and culture.
