About This Event

Dyrham Park is currently presenting a captivating exhibition titled 'Journeys', which prominently features a remarkable display of vibrant Asafo flags, generously loaned from the esteemed Karun Thakar collection. These striking textiles are a significant and powerful example of West African artistic expression. The exhibition delves into a range of compelling themes, including the profound impact of migration, the complexities of historical trade routes, the extraordinary skill of traditional craftsmanship, and the enduring legacy of colonialism. Visitors will have the opportunity to admire these important works, which have been drawn from Thakar's extensive global collections, thoughtfully curated within the atmospheric and historically rich surroundings of Dyrham Park itself. This collaboration with the National Trust provides a unique and memorable context for experiencing this fascinating aspect of textile art.
