Connections with the Caribbean (exporting linen) and South Asia (importing jute) provided the basis for much of Dundee’s wealth and this legacy is evident today in the city’s buildings and amenities. Many Dundonians left the city to work in parts of the Empire and later many others came from previously colonised countries to make Dundee their new home. This exhibition for Black History Month explores these stories and many others.
