Last chance to share your experience of the pandemic in our survey

Our survey, Evidence for Equality National Survey (EVENS) is closing on 30 June. It is collecting vital data on the experiences of ethnic and religious minorities during the pandemic.

If you can, please do take part (you need to be from an ethnic/religious minority and be over 18) or share the survey with family and friends.

You can take part online or by phone and the survey is available in 14 languages. Everybody who takes part will receive a gift voucher to say thank you. Find out more.

We know that some of you have taken part and shared the survey already. Thank you!

#ReconstructionWork: Can the museum be decolonised?

6pm, 7 July 2021, online.

What can decolonisation look like in practice and in relation to the museum? Speakers Ahdaf Soueif, Mohammed Ali, Sado Jirde and Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan share their experiences working within and without the museum to examine whether or not the museum can be a space for realising disruptive and radical possibilities. They will be discussing what and who the museum is for, the relationship between the museum and the construction of racial hierarchies as well as the museum’s entanglements with the history and legacies of colonisation. A joint event with the Stuart Hall Foundation.
