Description
An account of the resource
The over life-size bronze sculptural group depicts three figures, two men and one woman. As the title of the work, <em>Desenkadena</em> (unchained) suggests, the figures are breaking free from the chains that bind their wrists. The central figure is flanked by a man and woman, both of whom gaze at him as he breaks their chains. The “chain breaker,” a muscular, semi-nude man, stands in front of an anvil. Simon captures the figure mid-swing as he raises a hammer over his head with his right hand. In his left hand he holds iron chains in place with a chisel. The work commemorates the 1795 slave rebellion led by an enslaved person called Tula.

Description
An account of the resource
Located near St. Mary Woolnoth Church, where the abolitionist <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/William-Wilberforce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Wilberforce</a> heard the anti-slavery sermons of the <a href="https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/107250.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rev. John Newton, </a>the monument consists of 17 carved granite columns clustered around a granite podium. The curvilinear forms of the columns recall the growing stems of sugarcane. According to the artists, the position of the columns and podium are meant to suggest a group of people “gathered to listen to a speaker – perhaps the Rev Newton preaching against slavery, perhaps a trader auctioning his slaves, perhaps William Wilberforce campaigning in front of an audience.” Excerpts from Lemn Sissay's poem, the <em>Gilt of Cain</em>, are inscribed on the work. The words are inscribed in the same typography used in early abolitionist literature printed near the site.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Five nude torsos of enslaved Africans emerge from stone pillars, whose rough and pebbled texture resemble the stones that fill the concrete pit that surround them. The five cast concrete figures, all but one of whom are chained around the neck, are located on the site of the last slave market in Africa.</span></p>
