BRADFORD’S Asian communities have been asked to come forward with memories and mementos of Partition for an upcoming city centre exhibition.
Peace After Partition will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the massive changes that led to Pakistan becoming a separate country to India. The exhibition will open in the Peace Museum in June, and in preparation staff are collecting stories and artefacts relating to the period.
The exhibition’s curators say it may be one of the last chances to collect these “untold stories” from the ageing demographic of people who may remember Partition first hand.
The exhibition will run from May to June.
Anyone who wants to contribute to the exhibition can email samayya.afzal@peacemuseum.org.uk or call the museum on 01274 780 241.
