Art UK have partnered with visual arts charity Autograph to put a collection of photographs of Britain's diverse communities online. Autograph's important collection of photographs exploring race and identity will now be seen by new audiences online, in schools and outdoors. The outdoor display is, handily, just down the road from our Aldgate campus in Shoreditch, at their gallery in Rivington street, so you can pop along to see it in real life too.

Should you not be able to visit in real life, you can view the works online via ArtUk, along with many more, as over 100 have been put online. The collection addresses gaps in the visual representation of Britain's cultural history and its diverse communities, with artworks exploring race, identity, representation, human rights and social justice.

You can read more about the collection and partnership on the ArtUK website
