Our exhibition in 2024 was called 'Yellow Peril Awareness Day' with the intention of reframing 'Yellow Peril' - the derogatory term used against people of East and Southeast Asian heritage, and uncovering and uplifting hidden ESEA history in the UK.

​

The exhibition touched on a variety of topics across ESEA cultures, including a mention of the 6 Chinese survivors of the Titanic, which led to our 2025 exhibition exploring this topic in much deeper detail.

​

The in-person interactive exhibition also encouraged visitors to explore by various themes;

- Interconnected Islands: interwoven histories

- ESEA History in the UK: Space for Change

- Family Trees: ESEA history in the UK, dating back to the 1500s

- Hubs: What makes interwoven British culture?

​

The exhibition was brought together by 60 volunteers based in the UK, America and Malaysia, and received over 140 visitors across London and Manchester.
