"Bristol faces, Afrikan footsteps" is an outcome of the Adisa project run by the city's Bread youth project. It is one of a wide number of projects funded through The National Youth Agency/Heritage Lottery Fund Young Roots programme that are helping young people to mark the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade by the UK Parliament.
The Adisa project involved 15 young people aged 14 to 20 in a programme of field research, skills development and workshops during the summer of 2006.
