Current and upcoming exhibitions
Eldercide: Older Jews and the Holocaust
This exhibition explores the choices and humanity of older Jews in the face of persecution, flight and survival. Through rare photographs, personal stories and objects, the exhibition challenges our perceptions of age, vulnerability and agency, offering a vital new lens on the Holocaust.
Learning in Exile: Stories of Displacement and Education in the Rohingya Community
Learning in Exile examines what happens when education is repeatedly disrupted—not by a single crisis, but by layers of exclusion, displacement, and policy decisions that sever learning from meaning. Centred on the experiences of Rohingya children and youth since 1982 and the most recent 2016 crisis, the exhibition traces how schooling persists in form while failing in substance, and how communities respond by reclaiming language, knowledge, and the right to learn.
Hidden: Photography and displacement under the Khmer Rouge
Hidden is a long-term collaborative project by Charles Fox and Prum Sisaphantha, also known as Pantha. The exhibition follows Pantha’s personal journey during the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia (1975–1979), a period of violence, loss, and forced relocation.
Nazi Slave Labour: Perpetrators and Victims
Between 1939 and 1945, 20 million individuals were exploited as slave and forced labourers by the Nazi regime. This exhibition will explore how perpetrators profited off and exploited slave labourers, alongside the first-hand stories of the victims.
