Poster: Refugees of the British Empire

Pop-Up Exhibit & Lecture Series

July 27 - August 3, 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area, California

Join us this month at 'Refugees of the British Empire,' a pop-up exhibition made possible by a grant from California Humanities, a subsidiary of the National Endowment for the Humanities. 

To mark the 72nd anniversary of Partition this year, we would like to share with you new insights and learnings on South Asian history.  A San Francisco bay area artist will be transforming our new South Berkeley office into a pop-up museum for ten days.  A series of workshops, lectures and storytelling events are scheduled.  Join us for two educational and thought provoking weekends.

Prior to the launch of 'Refugees of the British Empire' don't miss a community pop-up exhibit being organized by Silicon Valley resident Reshma Hyder. 

Space is extremely limited in our office.  Book early for guaranteed seating.
