About the show
The Turbanology exhibition explores why the right to
wear a turban is central to the Sikh faith, at a time when there
are many growing misunderstandings and misrepresentations
about them. Turbanology dispels these myths and unravels
the real heritage that is wound into a Sikh's turban.
What you can see
Crowned Heads - There are three plinths arranged around
the gallery space, all with mounted mannequin heads. Each one
models an example of a style of Sikh turban. That turban's
unique history can be read from the plinth.
Being Framed - There are three picture frames mounted
on easels and arranged around the gallery. Each is specific to
one of the turban styles featured in the show. All hold images of
dozens of Sikhs proudly wearing that turban in their daily lives.
Material Witnesses - There are three lengths of fabric in
the gallery; Each one unravels a fascinating aspect of the story
of Sikhs and their turbans. These stories will be added to as the
show tours the UK.
