Skill & Hunar: Celebratory Event at Womenzone
Over this summer, the National Science and Media Museum has been working closely with members of the Sound and Vision Youth Forum and a group of elders at the local organisation WomenZone on a brilliant intergenerational learning project.
‘Hunar’ means ‘artfulness’ in Urdu. This project has seen a rich variety of workshops, covering a multitude of crafts and skills – from iPad drawing to creating flower garlands and samosa chaat-making.
This October, join us for a celebratory event at Womenzone to mark the project's success. We would love to see you there!

The Real McCoy: An Introduction to Black inventors
‘The Real McCoy: An Introduction to Black inventors’ is a fascinating exhibition created by local educator Chris Peltier that showcases the hundreds of contributions made by Black scientists to objects and technology that we use in our daily lives. This includes the areas of film, radio, computing, gaming, emergency services and much more. Many of these inventors are not widely known, often due to institutional racism and records being lost.
The National Science and Media Museum is proud to bring this exhibition to The Broadway for visitors and shoppers to experience.
On Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 October from 10.00 - 16.00 the exhibition will be accompanied by hands-on family activities, objects from the museum’s Handling Collection, and short talks by creator Chris Peltier. At all other times the experience will be self-led.
