People Like Us | Many nations, one community
Following on from ATF’s 2020 exhibition We Were There, People Like Us explores the rich stories, memories and experiences of local people who have moved to Essex, UK from other places around the globe.
Please click on the individual portraits to experience each person’s story.
Thank you to everyone who has so generously shared their time and memories to create this exhibition.
The exhibition is best viewed on a PC but also works well on mobile devices.
Let us know about your own experiences of moving to Essex and how you feel about the exhibition.
Huge thanks to Heritage Fund UK who have made this exciting project possible.
