About Exhibition Celebration
Join the next museum late event, celebrating the opening of the new temporary exhibition, Community Became Home: The Journey of the Oxford Hindu Temple & Community Centre.
Through photographs, personal stories, and objects, this exhibition spotlights the collective effort behind this journey to transform a former football club’s changing rooms into a vibrant spiritual, cultural, and community space open to all.
The exhibition also features specially-commissioned portrait photographs taken by Meghana Geetha.
The evening’s activities at this exhibition celebration will include traditional music and Bharatanatyam dance performances, henna, and the opportunity to explore the museum’s galleries and shop after hours. All welcome!
This is a free drop-in event, running between 6.00pm to 8.00pm, with activities and performances throughout the evening. This event has been organised in collaboration with the Oxford Hindu Temple & Community Centre.
