This UK Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project (AH/W009803/1), explores the histories of missions to sailors in British ports. It examines the experiences of both British sailors and ‘Lascars’, a term used for largely South Asian seafarers who became an increasingly significant labour force within the merchant marine.
This travelling exhibition will be displayed in Liverpool, Hull and Bristol in 2025.
It features project research and commissioned artwork from Kremena Dimitrova, Charlotte Jones, and William Lindley.
There will be light refreshments served, and the bar will be open for guests to purchase drinks.

Best wishes,
