Description
Join photographer, Tim Smith, for this engaging, illustrated talk celebrating the 75th anniversary of Ukrainians first settling in Bradford.
The city has a rich history of welcoming people into the community and this poignant event, marking Refugee Week, tells the story of the local Ukrainian community, from the post-war refugees to those recent arrivals fleeing the war in their homeland.
Tim has been photographing the Ukrainian community in Bradford since the 1980s, initially working with those who were displaced by the Second World War, their children and grandchildren. Bradford was once home to the largest group of Ukrainians in western Europe and they have now been joined by those fleeing the latest conflict in Ukraine.
Join Tim for what promises to be a fascinating talk as he recounts the stories of some of those living in exile in Bradford’s ‘Little Ukraine’ and shows a selection of his photographs taken during past trips to Ukraine.
