With knowledge comes power.

4 The Record Initiative endeavours to raise awareness of Black British achievement on stage and screen to Black British young people.

Our goal is to encourage young people with aspirations of a career on stage and screen, to aim high to reach their personal and professional goals.

We hope that the young people who see the exhibition, visit the website and learn about the work of 4 The Record Initiative, will start to understand and be proud of their cultural heritage.

In this section, you can:

- Learn about the acting, directing, writing and photography workshops run in partnership with major arts organisations to promote wider participation of Black British young people in the performing arts,
- Download ideas from these workshops for use in your school or youth group,
- Discover stage plays relevant to the contemporary Black British experience.
- View a timeline of seminal moments for Black British actors on screen.

Funded by the UK Film Council three key arts organisations ran workshops on acting, directing, writing and photography. These organisations have worked together for the first time to make links between their individual practices in an original way.

For our partners - the Royal Court, the Young Vic and the National Portrait Gallery - the creative ideas and financial support generated by UNDEREXPOSED has not only enabled them to run innovative programmes for Black British young people but to develop new audiences of their own.

With thanks to the UK Film Council for funding.
