My Home is My Island

Apsara Arts would like you to share your stories of your experiences and feelings during the Covid-19 lockdown. Your story may be selected to become part of our virtual exhibition that will be hosted by the Museum of Croydon. The exhibition will be archived to create a snapshot of life during this period and will be published in the autumn.

What can you donate?
