It’s been great with building a good working relationship with the team at Historic England since our exhibition and the archive has been represented very well via their ‘Another England website’ here: https://historicengland.org.uk/research/inclusive-heritage/another-england/your-stories/apna-heritage-archive/. And so I was extremely delighted and surprised to see the archive selection curated and exhibited in London at this week’s private view in London recognising & celebrating 100 years of Black & Asian history. It’s always hard to trust others with your own archive and its representation I was impressed that the team at Historic England and NOW gallery have really done the people of Wolverhampton proud here. It was great to be involved in a project that housed some amazing collections representing Black & Asian History from Magnum Photos, Getty Images, Autograph and Masterji. Not only this but great to know that the archive itself was handled by Black & Asian curators via Kaia Charles and Ruth Lie (co-curated by Anand Chhabra).
