While working for Southwark Council I carried out design briefs and creative content for Black History Month from 1987 to 1994 Since leaving formal employment I have endeavoured to use my art as a tool of creative personal development for service users at centres of mental health; children excluded from schools and I am now embarking on art projects to help stop those convicted to refrain from re-offending after release from prison. A selection of my work is currently on display at The Tate Library Brixton, children?s section. ?

Slave Trade Abolition Bill passed in the British Parliament By International Artist Clive Ralston Roy AndersonTake a retrospective look at the paintings of Clive Ralston Roy Anderson covering an eclectic mix of social issues with different subjects, moods and styles. The after-effects of slavery did a lot of damage to both the minds of black people even years after slavery. Racism still flourishes in society. Our yelling reaction to racism has lost its fire. For many years we sang the song, did the dance, walked the march in the process of outcry about the painful effects of racism. Things have changed and times are different, but many Blacks today are suffering from the after-effects of the struggle for justice. They are mentally lost in a time warp! There was nothing wrong with the struggle, yet it left us mentally crippled due to our behavioural choices and actions. We developed the attitude, "Whites must do something for us, or else." We became so entangled with the struggle that even when lights came back on, we were unable to see. Because we vented energy in yelling our outrage against injustice, we ran out of energy to do anything else for ourselves. We want the government to do everything for us, including coming inside our homes to raise our children and chasing the drug dealers from our communities. Yet nothing the government does ever pleases us. Now, our children are in trouble in the streets! We are unable to understand that kids' behaviour reflects adults' behaviour. We are not satisfied with our political and economic gains, and we can't seem to find ways to mobilize effective forces for corrective changes in order to rebuild the Black families and communities in the inner cities. Who do you blame? Blame the Whites folks?Saturday 1st September 3.00pm until 9.00pm 2007 Onwards The Synergy Centre 220 Farmers Road off Wyndham road Camberwell SE5 www.ralstonroy.com for more details contact [email protected] My MySpace URL: myspace.com/artistralston
