Border Crossings - exhibition with Graciela Magnoni and Amarjeet Nandhra

Border Crossings exhibition, with work by Amarjeet Nandhra and Graciela Magnoni

Border Crossings: Exploring Community and History of the Partition through Virtual Reality is a AHRC funded research project led by Professor Navtej Purewal (Development Studies), Dr. Eleanor Newbigin (History, Religions and Philosophy) and Tajender Sagoo (project coordinator and exhibition curator). Border Crossings seeks to examine how public narratives and memories of the partition of 1947 have developed and changed over time. The project uses the South Asia diaspora in the UK as a vantage point from which to reflect on the partition.

In this exhibition we present the work of artists Graciela Magnoni a street photographer based in Singapore, and Amarjeet Nandhra a textile artist and educator based in London. Both artists use different forms to narrate new stories about the partition of 1947.
