Despite opening in August 2022, this exhibition remains particularly relevant in December, a month that hosts Human Rights Day (10 December) and the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery (2 December).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/museum.wales\/cardiff\/whatson\/11568\/Reframing-Picton\/\">exhibit<\/a> is a community project created over a number of years by museum experts and young community representatives from across Wales. Spread across three rooms, it offers multiple responses to Picton&#8217;s crimes. The first room is a youth-led art installation showing his famous form of torture; the second offers an insight into Trinidadian heritage through tattoos; and the final room sets out historical evidence for his acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The works created by the young artists is the most interactive installation which transforms the torture of Picton&#8217;s victims into dance and their scream into song, according to the exhibition\u2019s entrance plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"The art installation shows a wire figure hung from the wrist with an upturned peg under the foot.\" class=\"wp-image-66879\" style=\"width:770px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1366x768.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1400x787.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"The art installation shows a wire figure hung from the wrist with an upturned peg under the foot.\" class=\"wp-image-66879\" style=\"width:770px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1366x768.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt-1400x787.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/12\/PublicLife_SophieColson_ReframingPictonArt.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picton\u2019s torture method, called Picketing, became known as \u2018Pictoning\u2019 and involved stringing the victim up by their wrist with their entire body weight supported on an upturned wooden peg. Photo by Sophie Colson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas Picton\u2019s 1810 portrait was included in the National Museum Cardiff\u2019s Hall of Heroes until 2020 when the Black Lives Matter movement brought the public&#8217;s attention to contested historical artefacts. O&#8217;Molemo Thamae, a representative of Race Council Cymru (RCC), said Picton\u2019s portrait was painted in the style of the time, which commanded reverence and projected power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a speech made at the opening of the exhibit last year, one of the project&#8217;s representatives said: &#8220;Among the goals of this exhibit is&#8230; to create a dialogue between museums, the governments that fund them, and the communities they serve.\u201d This is a notion that Darren Macey, who specialises in the transatlantic trade of enslaved people at the University of South Wales (USW), echoed as being continuously important in universities and museums today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lecturer explained the BLM protests of 2020 are still altering how we see our <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/2020\/12\/17\/how-wales-will-ensure-2021-will-be-a-year-of-support-for-bame-individuals\/\">public spaces<\/a>. He said: \u201cMemorials represent who we consider to be our heroes and heroines today.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thamae said: &#8220;I believe future generations will benefit from being told a much more accurate version of history, including that of characters like Thomas Picton. Never erasing history but telling a fuller version of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are many more roads to rename, plaques and statues to take down and paintings to remove,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition is due to close 12 January 2025 and entry is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-89b608b41c08b6c7e9e4ad8c78a51f32\">Who is Picton?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 48%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f4b76b9c357ece74f820a4db5cc1a4e2\">Born in Haverfordwest, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton died in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
