A one-night-only exhibition celebrating Turkish migration, heritage and community in London, alongside the launch of Emel Sevinç's debut novel 'Unhemmed'. The exhibition, 'More Than a Bundle Story', is an oral-history and cultural-heritage project curated by Emel Sevinç that preserves the experiences of Turkish-speaking migrants who arrived in Britain from the late 1960s to the late 1990s, many of whom worked in the capital's textile and clothing industry. Through photographs, recorded testimonies, personal memories and everyday objects, it explores migration, work, family, sacrifice, identity and belonging. The novel, set within London's Turkish garment industry, brings history and fiction together for one special evening, and everyone is welcome.
