This answer demonstrated a shocking lack of understanding about this community: The possibilities presented by cultural heritage as a tool for contemporary change is, in part, what lies behind the Dikh He N Bister project. It is also expressed in a wealth of other Nacken exhibitions, events and campaigns, including Hidden Treasures, a celebration of Nacken art www.
The Moving Minds exhibition combines contemporary life experiences of, and objects that mean something to, the Nackens who developed the exhibition. The objects often connect in some way with, and communicate elements of, their cultural heritage.

Gunner Girls and Fighter Boys. Wafting wisps of unsolved mysteries towards us; ghosts of the past peeking through the pages of the history books. It was wonderful to share her twisting journey; full of synchronicities; a chance meeting, a helping hand, a word of encouragement; all of which have nudged her inexorably along her path and allowed her to get this far.

She also suggested that sometimes you have to leave behind prescriptive academia and look at history with an open mind in order to find the truth of the matter.
