About this event
EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is pleased to present Looking East, an exhibition exploring three centuries of connection between Ireland and India.
Irish soldiers had a long and often violent record of service in India, while Irish civil servants played an important role in governing what was Britain’s largest colony. Yet Ireland and India also share an overlapping history of anti-colonial struggle.
The Indian diaspora today forms one of Ireland’s fastest-growing immigrant communities, but Indian migration to this country stretches back much further in time.
Discover little-known histories of migration and cultural exchange – stories of empire building and brutality, but also stories of solidarity and resistance.
