When The Snow Melts is part of the Muslim Memory project, charting the stories of Nottingham's Muslim communities involved in the Second World War. This thought-provoking show draws from the personal histories of local Muslim families, and archival material to pose questions about the process of war memorialisation, empire and its interconnections.
