More Than a Song

Black Beauty is an expression of recognition.

Through music, Rare Diamond explores themes connected to identity, appearance, perception and the way people can experience the world around them.

It is another example of how Removing the Mask uses creative expression as a way of opening conversations.

Not every message has to begin with a presentation or a workshop. Sometimes a song can make us stop, listen and think.

Creative Expression Within Removing the Mask

Removing the Mask recognises that people communicate and learn in different ways.

Sometimes the conversation is through words.

Sometimes it is through poetry.

Sometimes it is through music.

Black Beauty is one of those gems.

It sits within the wider creative world of Removing the Mask alongside Tasters of Rare Diamond, Rare Diamond Unmasked and other forms of creative expression.
