The Exhibition
The exhibition plays a central role in bringing the story of Jacob Wainwright’s remarkable journey to life, fostering a deeper understanding of cultural heritage and history. Designed to be both accessible and mobile, the exhibition ensures it reaches communities far and wide, particularly in areas where it can engage diverse audiences. Through informative displays, historical artifacts, and compelling narratives, the exhibition encourages reflection and discussion on Wainwright’s legacy and his connections to Africa and the UK.
Volunteers play an essential role in researching, designing, and assembling the displays, gaining valuable skills in heritage work and project management. They also participate in transporting the exhibition, ensuring it reaches a broad audience across various community spaces, educational centers, and public venues. This approach makes the story of Jacob Wainwright more accessible and highlights the power of mobile heritage exhibitions, while fostering a collaborative environment where volunteers are key contributors to preserving and sharing history.
