Going to this exhibition Manchester Museum was insightful and necessary. I was overcome with emotions of how the younger version of me would have loved to learn about who I was! I will continue this through education and make students aware of what I so desperately needed!


Just incredible to see these images of Manchester Museum reopening to the public and them enjoying the #SouthAsiaGallery An inspiring project made possible by so many #SAGCollective @NusratAhmedMM Georgina Young @ward_esme British Museum Studio C102 Mobile Studio sthuthiramesh

I was lucky enough to be among the first journalists to visit the new South Asia Gallery at Manchester Museum, to write about it for the Financial Times (in today's paper and online). Read about it here ft.com/content/b405a4β¦
