All Different, All Local
at Dartmoor National Park Authority’s
High Moorland Visitor Centre, Princetown
A new exhibition commissioned by the Devon Racial Equality Council is on display at Dartmoor National Park Authority’s High Moorland Visitor Centre, Princetown.
The exhibition contains photographic images by Petra Mansour and celebrates the wide variety of people who live and work in the region.
Anita Nathwani, Devon Racial Equality Council said:
‘In today’s society people are no longer static, both people and places are subject to movement and change. Devon is no exception. The exhibition highlights the contribution of black and minority ethnic communities to the region and shows that, contrary to popular belief, these communities have moved away from the periphery and into the mainstream of Devon society.’
‘All Different All Local documents this very important transition. We are very excited by this exhibition which represents the creative variety of black and ethnic minority people in Devon.’
The exhibition opens on Saturday 11 March and runs until Wednesday 29 March 2006. The High Moorland Visitor Centre opens daily, 10 am to 4 pm.

National Parks cover 10% of the land area of England, Wales and Scotland. They are of special value to the whole nation because of their great beauty, their wildlife and cultural interests and the opportunities they offer for quiet enjoyment. However, they are not nationally owned - the land is in the hands of many landowners or occupiers including farmers. Over 33,400 people live inside the Dartmoor National Park and many millions of visits are made to it each year.
