A celebration of those often overlooked

Toward the end of the exhibition, a table of books showcases the poetry and prose of UK-based writers of Chinese descent, which explore themes including hybrid identity, migrant journeys, and ancestral memories.

Loh says: "One of the most important things for visitors to learn from the exhibition is that there is China, the country which is in the news a lot, and then there's also the Chinese community (members) in Britain who are as British as the next person you know.

"The Chinese community in Britain is very well-established and long-standing … and there is an ever-increasing contribution by the Chinese to British society."
