Unpeeling the past - decolonising the fruit salad

Join Simone La Corbiniere and Ceryl Evans of History Moves UK as they unpeel the past - decolonising the fruit salad - for a refreshing (online) take on…fruit!

This unique talk peels back the layers of three of our favourite fruits to explore their complex histories and colonial roots. Learn how everyday flavours carry stories of trade, power, migration ... and the formation of the mafia.Come hungry for knowledge and leave with plenty to chew on – this isn’t your usual fruit salad!

An online event, part of Heritage Open Days 2025.

Please book you ticket here and we will send you the link for the grand unpeeling up to 24 hours before the event.
