An exhibition including a short film featuring the stories of six local British South Asians will be on display at North Herts Museum

An exhibition including a short film featuring the stories of six local British South Asians will be on display at North Herts Museum from 2 to 28 August, showcasing and celebrating Hitchin's diverse heritage.

Mandeep, film creator and one of the people featured in the exhibition, explained: "A large part of why Hitchin is so warm and welcoming is because of its diversity which is linked to Hitchin's migration story. In the 1960s, many South Asians moved to the UK and some, like my family, moved to Hitchin in the hopes of starting new lives.

Their children, like myself, were the first to be born and raised in this country and I wanted to explore how other children of the diaspora, particularly women like me, shaped and navigated their hybrid identity as British Asians in Hertfordshire.
