‘With posters, newspaper cuttings, black-and-white photographs, children’s drawings, archive documents and artefacts, but above all with the remarkable accounts of those who lived through it, the exhibition – France’s first major exhibition on a long-overlooked subject – corrects the dominant narrative.’ Jon Henley, The Guardian , 13 June 2020
‘Paris-Londres. 1962-89. Music Migrations‘ ran at the National Museum of the History of Immigration in Paris from 12 March 2019 to 5 January 2020, and was described by Rolling Stone as ‘the best exhibition about music since the V&A’s ‘David Bowie Is’.
