Congratulations Navrang Arts for picking up an award for their powerful โRebuilding Lives: 50 years of Ugandan Asians in Leicesterโ exhibition Leicester Museums & Galleries - curated by those who lived through the exodus and created a home in the city.
"At a time when there is so much negativity around migration in the media, we hope our exhibition is a reminder of the many ways that migration has shaped and enriched all aspects of our daily lives." - Aditi Anand, Artistic Director Migration Museum Aditi Anand
The biggest and warmest congratulations to everyone at 50 Years of Ugandan Asians #RebuildingLives - the #RebuildingLives exhibition Leicester Museums & Galleries charting the story of the 1972 expulsion was just fantastic. A very well-deserved accolade!
