It's good of the @V_and_A to flag up #Jewish Sephardi history with this exhibit, but unfortunately this label contains a couple of errors.

We're a project that's been looking at #Sephardi heritage in England and would be glad to help with corrections!

A landmark for the Sephardim was the inauguration of @bevismarksuk Synagogue in 1701. It was said that Princess -and soon to be Queen - Anne herself offered an oak beam as part of the construction. The #Sephardim had arrived.

In One Lost Stone we exhibit painter Anne Sassoon, celebrating the vast output of an original #Sephardi artist whose images hint at elements unearthed in @lostjews – loss, marginalisation, secrecy, duality, performance, protest and survival.
