Over the past few months, we have been working in close partnership with local young people to explore this history and its continuing relevance. Through hands-on history lessons, archival research and creative activities, they learnt about the events of 1964/65, the work of the Indian Workers Association, and their contribution to the history of fighting racism and cultural and community work. The participants have been making artwork towards a final exhibition by developing knowledge and creative skills.

This exhibition showcases some of their work. The participants in the exhibition are
