We have paintings from Juginder Lamba and poems from Farrukh Dhondy. Rahila Gupta elegantly juxtaposes the contradictions of being black and British.
Happy Birthday to Us! To celebrate, our 25th anniversary, we asked nine writers, painters, and practitioners, all first generation British South Asians, to use our archive as a kick-off point for reflecting on their lives and work.
Join us in supporting #SouthAsianHeritageMonth on Sat 23rd July 2022 for ‘Stories That Made Us: Migration and Identity’ - a day-long event marking the stories of South Asians who migrated to the UK.
