‘Belonging Flexibly’ tells the story of non-Muslim communities from historically Muslim-majority cities in Asia, including (post) Soviet Central Asia, that migrated out of the region due to political instability, international intervention, and civil conflict.
The exhibition emphasises the ongoing importance of their cities of origin to these communities’ sense of belonging, their cosmopolitan skills and their nuanced ways of dealing with diversity in the context of life in the diaspora.
