Born on the Wheels of a Wagon Exhibition

Step into the lives of Traveller communities in Somerset with Born on the Wheels of a Wagon, an exhibition that shares their stories in their own words. Through striking portraits and first-person audio, you’ll hear about family, work, leisure, and the day-to-day realities of life on the road.

Originally shown at The Engine Room, the project brings together photography, interviews, and research led by local students, giving Travellers the space to speak for themselves. It highlights the history, culture, and resilience of Romani, Irish Traveller, and other Traveller communities in the South West, while challenging common stereotypes.
