Community Banners

COLLECTION SUMMARY

What community are you a part of? How would you express your community visually? Since 1985, the Migration Museum has invited community groups to make banners representing their memories, hopes and dreams. These banners explore themes ranging from religion to landscapes. Some have been made by entire communities, while some are made by an individual for their community. Take a look at the way different communities view their histories and their cultures.

You can see some of the first banners on display at the Migration Museum opening on the SA History Hub.
