Like Sugar in Milk: Stories of Zoroastrian Migration to the South East of England

Ten exhibition totems will house in-depth interviews with Zoroastrian community members who migrated to the UK in the latter part of the 20th Century. These oral histories, as well as photographic portraits and archive photographs, will offer a glimpse of a diminutive yet ancient religion and culture.

The exhibition marks the culmination of an 18 month project involving over twenty volunteers.  Volunteer ‘memory collectors’ from Sussex and Surrey have captured the migration stories of twelve Zoroastrian interview subjects from the wider South East region.  The project has been guided by a Steering Group made up of members and leaders of Zoroastrian organisations.

BandBazi are proud to present these captivating and poignant stories to venues across the South East.
