Thanks to the brilliant Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery team, you’ll find us inside “TEG 2” which is the first exhibition room on the right, just after the cafe. We are open 10am - 4pm.

We’re a little sad to move inside due to today’s predicted high gusts of wind, as the installation yesterday looking amazing out on the grass. But we want to make sure everyone has a safe visit & that none of Robina’s beautiful items get damaged. If you missed it yesterday, expect pictures soon!

These sessions are open to everyone, whether you knit, carve, glue, draw, or make. 

You are welcome to bring along a personal crafting project. But, if you don’t have anything to bring but fancy having a go at making something, then there will be an activity for you to try. You can also come along if you just want to meet others for a chat.

We are so excited about this new Installation. Ka We are so excited about this new Installation.

Kashmiri Gharbaar is an insight into the daily life of Kashmiri & Pakistani furnishings, customs and traditions. Installation designed and curated by Robina Akhtar, supported by Peterborough Presents. Inspired by Robina’s grandparents’ courtyard and homestead, the installation will give a nostalgic glimpse into the life of first generation elders in rural and working class villages and farms, as well as an insight into both historic and present everyday lifestyles. 

Expect a vibrant and creative collection of colourful South Asian objects and patterns, many of which handmade by local residents or their families back home.

Alongside this beautiful display, we’ll have a traditional activity for you to have a go at. Details to be announced soon.

When: 
Friday 11th September, 2:30-8pm. 
Saturday 12th September, 10am-4pm. 

Where: OUTSIDE of the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery, Priestgate, Peterborough city centre, PE1 1LF. 

Cost: It’s all FREE! 

Whilst you’re visiting the installation and feeling nostalgic, why not share your stories with us to be part of an exhibition in Peterborough Museum in November 2027! Throughout the installation our team will be capturing clips of people sharing their memories and stories of Pakistan, Kashmir, from the routes of migration to the roots of settled communities across Peterborough. Pop along to find out more!

Just in case you didn’t know:
On August 14, 1947, the new Dominion of Pakistan officially gained independence and came into being as a sovereign nation, ending British colonial rule. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was sworn in as the first Governor-General of Pakistan in Karachi, and the day marked the historic partition of British India. 

Happy Friday y’all! 

The PP team. 🙌🏽
We had a brilliantly inspiring trip to @ndacaproje We had a brilliantly inspiring trip to @ndacaproject yesterday in High Wycombe, supported by our friends @shapearts. NDACA stands for the National Disability Arts Collection & Archive. Some fabulous pieces in the collection. We were shown around by Alex Cowan (project archivist) who really brought the collection to life with his knowledge, history and pointers to other inspirational art. It’s thrown up loads of ideas for future RAD programme and ambitions, ways we can celebrate our own DDN creative in Peterborough. Ways to diversify art forms, work in partnership, how to show work from the past alongside work of today and the future. And, how creativity is always great at bringing people of different disabilites and different perspectives together. Huge thanks to our Julie Fernandez for arranging and to @museum_aimi who joined us from the museum. So much food for thought.

Side note - Alex told us of a great project somewhere where there was a fantastic view. Alongside the path there was a handrail with braille on it that described the view as you walked down the steps. Nice!
