Dear All:
I would like to invite you to join the next New Object Lessons workshop-
Inspired by Bombay Africans – an exhibition produced in 2007 by the Royal Geographical Society, BOMBAY MIX will explore hidden cross-cultural stories embedded in our collective cultural + scientific heritage. It will also look at the history of a selected number of Natural History museums established throughout the British Empire with a special emphasis on Manchester and Bombay (Mumbai).
BOMBAY MIX is recommended to anyone involved in the following celebrations:
- Darwin 200
- Manchester Science Week
- Black History Month
- Chinese New Year
- National Science + Engineering Week
- Local + Community Month
- Museums + Galleries Month
If you are interested in BOMBAY MIX but cannot attend, below is a list of interesting websites:
