Park Village Day Centre

July 07, 2015

Anand talks to one of the members of Park Village ladies group who meet on a weekly basis. As part of our research and development we are reaching out to local community groups to talk about the Exodus project and collect black and white images that will make up our final arts installation. This was one of the first groups we visited due to its location being one the areas early migrants settled in during the 1960's. The reception we got from the group was very positive and resulted in the telling of stories from the past.

We took along some black and white images that and shared them with the group.  The group recognised  some of the faces in the photographs and actually knew both our families !
