This community-led collections research was in partnership with National Museums Scotland, Royal Museums Greenwich, and Glasgow Life Museums Our Shared Cultural Heritage project, funded by the UK Research and Innovation Council (UKRI) through the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) with the aim to explore the untold stories of South Asian sailors (otherwise known as Lascars) working in the UK during the British Empire. My role involved researching academic and archival material, simplifying information for public presentations, editing a collaborative magazine, and illustrating a stationary collection as a creative research output.

The Changemakers strand of OSCH explores advocacy for South Asian young people and critiques museum practice in Glasgow Museums. This is a year-long project hosted in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in association with the British Council.

Contributed as an artist to the No Permission needed zine. NPN are a print and online zine (magazine) for Black and People of Colour (BPoC) in Scotland. NPN aims to platform BPoC culture, creativity, and experiences, by providing space outside of the dominant arts/media landscape.

NPN was born in 2021 as part of a project with the anti-racist charity Intercultural Youth Scotland (IYS).  NPN’s ultimate vision is to foster meaningful community and networks of support. By strengthening our community through mutual support, we believe it can create inter-community change which then better equips us to create wider change for BPoC in Scotland.
 

In partnership with the British Council and Glasgow Museums under their OSCH initiative, this project is working towards engaging young people in India and the UK to create an immersive and interactive online experience aiming to capture the mass migration and personal stories of the Partition of India in a unique way. It will be a website with a choice-based (game-like) experience, using representative characters with stories of migration. Once the exhibition is created, it will be shared and used as an education tool by schools and teachers in 4 countries – the UK, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
