The Photographers’ Gallery in London, the first public gallery in the UK devoted solely to photography, invited Apna Heritage Archive to take over its Instagram account from 6–9 August 2021.
It was a huge honour to share the project with the Gallery’s wide audience and to bring greater attention to the stories held within the archive. Across 11 photographs and accompanying texts, we explored themes of transnational migration, memory, displacement, and belonging through the untold stories behind the images.
The takeover offered an opportunity to introduce new audiences to the history of Punjabi migration to Wolverhampton, using family photographs and personal stories to reflect on heritage, identity, and lived experience.
