The Trading Faces Online Exhibition was devised in 2008-2009 by Future Histories as part of the Trading Faces Recollecting Slavery Project, which Future Histories has developed in collaboration with Talawa Theatre Company, the Victoria & Albert Museum Theatre Collections and The National Archives (A4A Programme).

The exhibition makes use of archive documents, video and audio material to explore the legacy of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in British performing arts and society using an interactive technological language.
