.comments

"Fascinating exhibition, well thought out and executed. By presenting individual life stories it creates a powerful narrative of migration to Scotland. Individual experiences come together to present the story of the South Asian migrations but also shows everyone has their own unique story. Well done." (Glasgow Museums)

"Great exhibit showcasing the lives of my parent’s generation. Interesting to see and read their stories. Great work."

"Beautiful exhibition, well displayed, steeped in Indian and Pakistani history. The stories of these people and their backgrounds are truly amazing. Such an inspiration for the future generations. Congratulations to the curator, clearly demonstrating hard work and dedication."

"A wonderful insight into some extraordinary lives. The sense of community and solidarity is very resonant for the Scottish Ballet. Thank you for the happy coincidence of presenting the exhibition at this time. All the best."
