After five years of co-curation at its best, this winning exhibition is viewed by the judges as a watershed moment for the sector. There is perhaps no better way to sum up its impact than by quoting one of its visitors:

“The honesty of the impact of colonialism in our communities is one of the reasons I will be bringing not only my South Asian friends, family and my parents to the museum, but my non-South Asian loved ones too; the gallery shares a part of me that I may not have been able to express in words to them before. Places we have felt excluded from our whole lives and shield our parents away from, I now walk into proudly.”
