@PINSpired @MuseumOfCroydon Thanks for the mention 😀

Dated August 1, 1951, this 10,000 shilling note, produced by the East African Currency Board, is an extremely rare example of the currency notes of colonial East Africa. It forms part of our collection of personal objects on display @MuseumOfCroydon

Kangas were often made in India for sale in Africa. The inscription on this kanga, written in Swahili, reads "Take this gift and let us forget what happened before". This is said to be a kanga of 'reconciliation' to be given to someone after a disagreement or as a peace offering

It's been a fantastic couple of months. Overwhelmed by the comments and reaction to our embroidery exhibition. A big thank you to everyone who came to see the works on display and especially to the members of Subrang Arts involved in creating the pieces

Delighted to be working with @RaasRebellion and @MaherGirlsRaasG on Vande Gujarat - an innovative dance production that will mark the end of our exhibition this April. The show takes place @WatersmeetVenue on April 22. Book tickets here ow.ly/9sIp30hY4XL
