Nusrat Ahmed
After 25 years of experience in the voluntary sector, Nusrat joined the Manchester Museum in 2019 and is now the chief curator of the South Asia Gallery. The first permanent gallery in the UK dedicated to celebrating the experiences and contributions of the South Asian diaspora. An innovative project over five years in the making, uniquely co-curated with a collective group of community members. The gallery has taken a person-centered anthology approach to bring together objects and stories, presented through a South Asian lens.
As a first-generation British woman born in South Asia, Nusrat has a close attachment to her heritage and is extremely passionate about her role, her impact for the South Asia Gallery, their communities and all who come to visit.
