Step into a world where ancient myths collide with contemporary pop culture, and discover the timeless power of storytelling through the lens of British Indian art. This talk explores the universal themes that have shaped humanity's tales across cultures and timelines—the eternal clash between the hero and the villain, the archetypes that transcend borders, and the ways we reimagine these narratives for modern times.

What if the most ordinary elements of our daily lives—a teacup, an umbrella, or even a rolling pin—carry layered meanings beyond their practical use? This talk is an exploration of how reinterpreting our domestic realities reveals nuanced symbolism, opening up alternative and parallel meanings in the objects and routines that shape our world.

London Art Lovers: Harrow is a vibrant tapestry of subcultures, each with its own complex background. As Britain steps into a future increasingly influenced by Asia, fostering connections between diverse communities and their countries of origin is crucial. I'm excited to be a proud member of the local Arts community of HARROW OPEN STUDIOS (HOS), where 47 artists in the Borough of Harrow will open their homes and studios to the public from June 8th to 23rd, 2024.
