Wednesday, 14 September at 4pm: Photo exhibition on Somaliland community in the City Hall of London

 

You are invited to the launch of a unique photographic exhibition at the City Hall of London on Wednesday, 14 September at 4pm. This exhibition is organised to celebrate and showcase the Somaliland communities across London at the different stages of their settlement in the capital.

 

Despite their discreet visibility in the city, the Somaliland community is one of the oldest African communities in the capital and many members of the community have made a positive impact on the city’s vibrant cultural, economic and political life.

 

As a former British protectorate, Somaliland continues to have strong links with Britain and this is reflected in the communities arrival in the UK originally as seamen, followed by flight from persecution and today as students and professionals.

 

This community undoubtedly has over the last hundred years become part of the fabric of this city and the photographs will highlight these long standing hidden links. The exhibition will open at 4pm promptly after a welcome from the Deputy Mayor and a brief talk about the exhibition and the community.

 

We look forward to warmly receiving you. To register and for further information email somaliland2011@gmail.com
