CARGO is an empowerment narrative covering the last 500 years of Bristol’s and Africa’s diasporas, shared history and legacy, which has been put into an immersive installation built off 12 poems to carry the whole narrative. CARGO stands for Charting African Resilience Generating Opportunities,



CARGO began here at the Studio as a book of poetry by poet Lawrence Hoo. Working with CARGO Creative Director and CARGO Co Founder Charles Golding, over the years it’s grown, flourished and exploded into a global phenomenon, encompassing immersive installations, a brand new curriculum for schools, a AR app that allows people to put their own virtual statues on the empty Colston plinth, a series of films and now it’s own creative studio space.
