Scout is forced to take the first steps towards adulthood and come face to face with the hypocrisy and prejudice that surrounds him.

Connections: Hidden British Histories @ Butetown History and Arts Centre

4 December 2006 – 19 February 2007

This exhibition explores Black, Asian and Jewish History and encourages young people to research the history of their own home. The artists explore inter-ethnic relations and reveal stories of cooperation and mutual learning, as well as tension, prejudice and competition.

The aim of the exhibition is to challenge misconceptions about the nature of relationships between communities and helps to demonstrate how minorities living side by side actually know little about each other.
