On Monday 21 October, the Museum hosted one of the first consultation storytelling workshops.
It was a pleasure to meet the Saanjha Punjab Women’s group based in Willenhall. Working with 25 ladies, we explored stories about migration, motherhood, and everyday experiences of South Asian women moving to the Black County in the 1960s. We discussed at length anecdotal, stories about cultural differences and similarities about life in the Punjab and life in the UK.
As part of our inclusive storytelling journey, we plan to connect with more communities including, Bangladeshi, Irish, LGBTQ, and disabled groups across the Black Country.
The Museum is ideally placed to connect and engage with the global majority of communities to record and collect stories from the missing narrative. We proudly work towards inclusive representation within the storybook of Black Country heritage.
