At Bruce Castle, you can also see two new exhibitions:

Wraparound: African and Caribbean cloths, head-wraps and symbolism

Celebrating the origin and meanings of the vibrant patterned fabrics from Ghana, Nigeria and Jamaica, this exhibition explores West African cloth and designs as well as the traditions and development of the head-wrap. There are textiles, clothes, head-wraps, objects and photographs as well as interviews on film of local people by film-maker and artist Ann Cross, as she finds out what their choice of clothing and head-wrapping means to them.
