The works, including film, poetry and music, are to tell the stories of prejudice and racism experienced by the people of Butetown, but to also champion the community spirit of Butetown and diversity of Cardiff.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This display comes after Black History Month. Black History Month Wales (BHMW) has overseen an array of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bhmwales.org.uk\/past-events\/\" target=\"_blank\">events<\/a> across the country in October, from launch events to film screenings and performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2019 is an important year for the experience of ethnic minorities in Cardiff, being the centenary of the 1919 race riots, where three men were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/kyle-legall-insta-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49147\" width=\"486\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/kyle-legall-insta-1.png 600w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/kyle-legall-insta-1-300x297.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/kyle-legall-insta-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49147\" width=\"486\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/kyle-legall-insta-1.png 600w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/kyle-legall-insta-1-300x297.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Kyle Legall working on a painting for the display.

Gavin is \u201cinterested in the themes of voice and representation, especially the question of whose voice gets heard.\u201d He says he is extremely excited to be working on the People of Butetown project with other artists from the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffmuseum.com\/whatson\/launch-event-people-of-butetown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"event  (opens in a new tab)\">event <\/a>is free, and there is no need to book.
