Sacred Connections: Heritage Revival by Indian-origin Communities in the UK
Saturday 21st June 2025, 1:00pm
This immersive exhibition explores how Indian-origin communities in the UK keep their sacred heritage alive across borders, through everyday spiritual practices and the restoration of important sacred sites in India and the UK. Visitors will encounter a multisensory environment where sound, scent, touch, photographs, and meaningful objects bring this living heritage to life.
The exhibition shows how local customs connect with global conservation ethos, and how people maintain their spiritual roots even while living far from their homeland. Through community efforts and international diplomacy work, the exhibition highlights the important role that people of Indian origin play in keeping sacred traditions and places alive.
Through photographs and sacred objects, sounds and smells—some directly from temples, homes and communities—the exhibition invites reflection on the meaning of sacred heritage in contemporary life. Three guest speakers will also share their views on how Indian-origin communities help protect heritage, both in their neighbourhoods and around the world. Join us to experience how faith, memory, and community come together to shape sacred landscapes across generations and geographies.
