Are you interested in exploring how museums can create platforms for young Black, Asian and minority ethnic creatives?

The lack of diversity within the museum sector is reflected by its visitor data. Did you know that only 9% of museum visitors describe their ethnicity as Black, Asian or minority ethnic, despite making up 14% of the UK population? [Source: Arts Council England]

Join us on Wednesday 23 March at 6-7pm to hear from Manchester Museum’s ‘Our Shared Cultural Heritage’ project. Explore how museum resources can be used to share underrepresented stories and promote social change.

Book onto this free event to hear from the young people involved in the project about their experience of being given a creative outlet to explore and share their South Asian heritage and the importance of representation of young Black, Asian and minority ethnic people within museums.

The event will be hosted on Zoom. Free, but booking required.
