Peniarth

Asia is home to over 4.7 billion people with around 2,300 languages spoken and is the birthplace of some of the world’s oldest civilisations. Known for its intricate design, clothing and cuisines, Asia has influenced cultures across the world.  

According to the 2021 Census 89,000 people in Wales identified as “Asian, Asian Welsh or Asian British” making them the second largest ethnic group in Wales. 
 
This exhibition is curated by Miidong P. Daloeng, Archives Decolonisation Project Officer at the National Library of Wales. It stems from the Wales Anti-Racist Action Plan that promotes and celebrates the diversity of Wales. It also aims at showcasing the resources in our collection. 

We invite you to explore these remarkable images, some of which have been coloured by hand, taken from the J. R. Harding, Dolaucothi, and the Bourne & Shepherd (Indian Views) albums alongside films from our audio visual collection.
