South Asian Britain: A sound bath & discussion

22 July, 12.30 – 14.30

Cinema 2, Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff

We are launching the South Asian Britain digital resource, an output of the Remaking Britain: South Asian Connections and Networks, 1830s to the Present project.

Join us for this free event in Cinema 2, Chapter Arts Centre (Cardiff), to launch the new digital resource South Asian Britain, with South Asian Heritage Month.

We will begin with a brief introduction to the research project and the new website, before moving into a south bath. During the sound bath we will play clips from the project’s oral history interviews and invite audience members to engage with the audio content. A panel discussion will follow, with interviewees Shani Dhanda and Subrahmanyam Ganesh, again with audience interaction. We will conclude the event with a creative response to the sound bath, by poet Mymona Bibi. A light lunch and refreshments will be served after the event.

South Asian Britain: Connecting Histories is the primary output of Remaking Britain: South Asian Connections and Networks, 1830s to the Present, an AHRC-funded research project led by the University of Bristol and Queen Mary University of London, in partnership with the British Library. The project reveals the significance of South Asian people and communities as agents of change to Britain’s cultural, economic, political and social life from the period of empire in the 1830s to the present.
