Dual
Heritage Exhibition
As part of
the Black History Month celebrations, Connexions
Nottinghamshire hosted a Dual Heritage Exhibition at
Nottingham City library in October 2008.
The Jewel Heritage Project, looked at young people’s experiences of
being young and dual heritage in Nottingham. Deana Goode, Dual
Heritage specialist Personal Adviser, who works in the
Connexions BME (Black Minority Ethnic) team coordinated the
project. Deana worked with a group of dual heritage young
people from Nottingham City on the project. The young people were
involved in taking photos, organising the event and interviewing
role models.
The exhibition looked at people’s experiences of being dual
heritage in Nottingham, how they feel, how they fit into two, or
more different cultures, and aimed to
celebrate the positives of being Dual Heritage.
The exhibition showcased people’s experiences using photography,
video, art and words.
