DRESS and jewellery from the north-west African Tuareg people will be the subject of a new exhibition at Forest Hill's Horniman Museum.
Tuareg: People of the Veil will explore the religious beliefs and value system of the nomadic tribe who are spread across Algeria, Liberia, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
Through the objects, which include various items of clothing and even a handbag, the exhibition highlights the significant role dress plays in their sense of self.
Tuareg: People of the Veil. Horniman Museum, London Road, Forest Hill. Opens March 27. Visit horniman.ac.uk
