As part of Durham Global Week 2025, we are hosting 'The Stories We Carry' photo exhibition. This exhibition celebrates the diverse cultural backgrounds of our university community by highlighting personal objects or places that hold special meaning. Whether they reflect your heritage or are inspired by other cultures, we invite you to share something meaningful to you—perhaps an object you treasure, a place close to your heart, or an experience that shaped your view of the world.
