Zing Tsjeng introduces our latest exhibition Chinese and British.

Chinese communities have been calling the UK home for much longer than many realise. Tracing their heritage back to regions in East and South-East Asia, they’ve established a rich and diverse culture across the UK.

In this new free exhibition, which takes its lead from the British Library’s current exhibition, libraries are reflecting on this long history through photographs, manuscripts and interviews with those who have lived through it. People across the UK can go to their local Living Knowledge Network library to experience Chinese and British through bespoke displays augmented with local collections, stories and events.
