Dear all In late June this year we will be taking down a display case
created with a group from The display includes traditional Yemeni objects, such as
cooking implements and jewellery, costume, a large model of an interior room of
traditional Yemeni tower house, and a film showing images of The lady who co-curated it with me is keen for the objects
to travel to other places, perhaps where there is a Yemeni community like in Would anyone be interested in finding out more about the display
objects and whether they would be suitable for their museum? We included the
story of one particular Sheffield Yemeni man, but this could be left out, and
perhaps another person/ people local to your area included instead. It would not be a touring exhibition from Museums Sheffield-
the contact would be Najla Maadi and her family, and you would work directly
with them to adapt the display to your needs. It is possible that Najla would
be able to make contacts in your local community should you need that link
creating. Please let me know if this is of interest and if you would like
more information. Thanks Clara
