Popped into Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill in Derby today to catch the fantastic work my very clever Loughborough University colleagues have helped create at the #ThinkHuman exhibition (although was slightly terrified by the hazmat dummy)

What a treat to be at the launch of the fantastic Derby Yaadaañ Archive 1950s-80s Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill . So many striking images and personal stories that illustrate the profound impact the S Asian community have had on the city of Derby.
