The project investigates the range of performance and art forms including bhangra, giddha, gatka, theatre, film and photography in relation to political events and social organisations that have developed in Southall over the past forty years. It looks across and between art forms, as well as the way in which these genres have been transformed from their ‘traditional’ beginnings through processes of adaptation in the diaspora context. The project has gathered 150 interviews with key arts practitioners and social activists which form the basis of the research material, based on a qualitative oral history approach and using an interdisciplinary framework of performance studies and ethnography. The symposium will consist of presentations from the core academic team, as well as contributions from the artistic consultants, leading to a plenary with respondents, and an open discussion. The event is presented under the auspices of the Asian Performing Arts Forum http://asianperformingartsforum.wordpress.com<http://asianperformingartsforum.wordpress.com/> When: Saturday 7th September Where: Centre for Creative Collaboration, 16 Acton Street, London, WC1X 9NG. http://creative-collaboration.net<http://creative-collaboration.net/> Time: 1.30pm – 6pm, followed by drinks and snacks.
