SUMMARY:Bussing Out
DESCRIPTION:This powerful exhibition reveals a hidden piece of British history – one that shaped the identity of many global majority children who arrived in Bradford\, and many other cities across the UK\, during the 1960s and 1970s. \nClimb aboard a 1970s school bus and hear memories of those impacted by the Bussing Out policy\, which sent Black and South Asian children from inner-city schools to mostly white areas. \nBussing Out takes place inside a reimagined school bus\, combining audio-visual storytelling with real testimonies and reconstructed memory. \nYou are invited to spend time in the space with the sequences\, create your own connections and narratives\, and to embrace the stillness. \nThe installation is open to the public from Monday 20 April – Saturday 2 May 2026 at Luton Point (Church Street Entrance/Exit). \n\nMonday 20 April – Friday 24 April: 10:00 – 16:00 daily\nSaturday 25 April: 11:00 – 16:00\nSunday 26 April – CLOSED\nMonday 27 April – Friday 1 May: 10:00 – 16:00 daily\nSaturday 2 May: 11:00 – 16:00\n\nFind out more about Bussing Out and Express Your Interest here.
