Marking 50 years since the founding of the Bogle-L’Ouverture Bookshop, Radical Roots: The Huntleys’ Story is a new pop-up exhibition co-curated by Gunnersbury Park Museum’s Young Curators in partnership with FHALMA Foundation. The display features artwork created by the Young Curators and by participants of the Ealing/Bradford Cultural Exchange, alongside rare archival materials and bookstalls celebrating the Huntleys’ publishing legacy.
Head of Museum Services at Gunnersbury, Corinne Wan, said:
“We are honoured to host this milestone event. The Huntleys’ legacy is part of the cultural fabric of Ealing and an important chapter in Britain’s history. This celebration will encourage visitors to reflect on how activism, creativity and solidarity continue to shape our present.”
The pop-up and coinciding celebration not only mark the 50th anniversary of the Bogle-L’Ouverture Bookshop, but also celebrate ten years of partnership between The Huntley Archives and Gunnersbury Park Museum.
