The Polish Heritage Museum in Howick are opening, so go see this slice of Polish history, explore joining Polish resistance during occupation in WW2. And join the Howick Photo Society on Monday 1st June at 230pm for their opening at Uxbridge Arts and Culture Centre, Howick.

We are especially looking forward to seeing the expanded Annual Commission, this year with three artists: Qiane Matata-Sipu, Saynab Muse and Raymond Sagapolutele, showing at Pah Homestead alongside a retrospective of all the commissions from 2011 to 2019. A must see.
