Colonial Hangover Exhibition

Colonial Hangover exhibition - Saturday 23rd July - Coventry's Belgrade Theatre

The Belgrade Theatre is holding its annual Mela on Saturday 23rd July as part of which PAIS are holding a student organised Colonial Hangover exhibition which has been running for two weeks at Belgrade Theatre

The Colonial Hangover exhibition builds on a teaching project undertaken at the University of Warwick. It asks students to consider how the practices of the British Empire continue to provide lenses through which British society looks at the relationships between its many members today. The exhibition will be accompanied by a talk by Professor Matthew Watson on Saturday 23rd July at 5pm on the B2 stage. It will explore personal stories that show how very different lives that began in very different parts of the Empire echoed through one another in interesting but typically unacknowledged ways.

The exhibition features work by local photographer’s Master ji and Bert Scott and is produced in partnership with Jason Tilley and Ben Kyneswood (Photographic Archive miners).

The Belgrade Theatre will offer a 2 for £10 exclusively for Warwick students who go to the talk for the evening show with the promo code: MELA 2410. This is an online offer only.
