Exhibition: Bun n Cheese: Things that bring me joy

As part of black history month, the Gallery space at Sutton Library will be hosting a month long exhibition titled "Bun n Cheese: Things that bring me joy".

Curated by the the writer / artist / academic, Michael Mcillan, this exhibition was made in collaboration with ten Black British elders of Caribbean heritage, and it the culmination of a five-week oral history exploring objects from their homes that bring them joy and speaks to their lived experience in Britain.

The exhibition is free to attend, and can be visited at any point during the staffed opening hours at Sutton Central Library. For more information, visit our event platform.
