🎉Let's celebrate South Asian heritage month! 🎉 Here's what's going on: ✨ Celebrating South Asian Heritage - a new display at Weston Park Museum featuring stories of South Asian immigrants who came to Sheffield and worked, settled, and built communities here in the 20th century. Plus, six Sheffielders speak about what their South Asian heritage and their homes in Sheffield mean to them. Further material has generously been loaned by @Sunrit Culture Group and Sheffield Libraries, Archives & Information 🙏✨ 🔗 https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/celebrating-south-asian-heritage-a-sheffield-city-council-display/ 💃On Saturday 3 August, join us at the Millennium Gallery for Performance: Threads of Unity – South Asian Dance, Music and Fashion (3-4.30pm, tickets are free and we advise booking).
