The Punjab: Moving Journeys

9 September - 27 November 2008

This exhibition reveals the 'Punjab', a region that spans both India and Pakistan. The complex history of this region and its modern significance are explored from the perspectives of five UK community groups with links to both countries. In particular, the 'moving journeys' of successive generations of Punjabi people, both within and across borders, are explored.

Community organisations who contributed include Cartwright Hall Young Ambassadors (Bradford), the Muslim Women's Welfare Association (Ilford), the North Hertfordshire Sikh Education Council, the Satrangi Group (London), adults and elders from the UK Punjab Heritage Association and the Anglo Sikh Heritage Trail.

Details of pupil workshops in November & December 2008 to accompany this exhibition can be found in the Teacher's Area.
