Loved #HAP2024 conference at @cardiffuni today with @beready4change from @nationalarchivesuk promoting Applied Stories latest, Being and Not Being, a double bill of audio installations in development.

Very exciting to back at @UkNatArchives with two of our favourite writing collaborators @sharmilawrites and @erynzaramba for some creative R&D with @beready4change & colleague Elizabeth Haines. Always love flicking through documents stamped with 'SECRET'. Watch this space....

@BhucharBvrd @OfficialJassa Can't see original to ask mum

@OfficialJassa I am sure you know what it means though. I can ask someone to check the accuracy of the words @beready4change please ask your mum

Are you familiar with shahmukhi Punjabi and Bulleh Shah? I'm trying to confirm if the following is the accurate original of one of his famous lines: پڑھ پڑھ علم ہزار کتاباں اپنا آپ نا پڑھیا 'parh parh ilm hazar kitaban apna aap na parheya'

Our wonderful friend and neighbour Surjeet is putting on an exhibition, showcasing a lifetime in art, including some of her exquisite Indian embroidery and painting. Do check it out here..👇

I am so looking forward to this new audio play. Do book tickets for the listening event on 30 Oct, followed by Q&A featuring Mel.

My mother's exhibition will run from 6th to 14th Oct 2023 in Kingston. London. It's a wonderful showcase of many of her best paintings, textiles and other artworks. A Must-see. Please do promote via your networks. Further info on surjeethusain.com

@AAmbily @1dish4theroad @UkNatArchives @baatn_network blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/indian-indentu… there is a pdf of the anthology linked to the blog.

@1dish4theroad @beready4change @UkNatArchives @baatn_network This looks wonderful Aaron, thanks for sharing.. Can I ask if it’s available to the wider public to buy? I’d love to read it.

My neighbour @beready4change has helped produce this wonderful zine, as part of his work @UkNatArchives joint with @baatn_network. It's full of exquisite poetry and stories on the Indian indentured diaspora - many on a food-related theme. Such a beautiful collection of work..👇

Long awaited launch of our Indian Indenture anthology: a unique collaboration between @baatn_network and @UkNatArchives . Booking via eventbrite, details below.

Here is the culmination of a number of years work leading a collaboration with psychotherapists @StillpointHQ on developing new methodologies for processing emotions while encountering @UkNatArchives archival records. blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/exploring-arch…

Great to be able to present at this symposium some of the @UkNatArchives projects I have been leading on that intersect btw archives and the arts.

Great to see this resource come out. Learnt a lot as we went about designing and delivering it.

Only a few days to go until we premiere our two NEW audio dramas with @UkNatArchives inspired by the Irish War of Independence. Hear an exclusive clip of Barbara Bergin's 'The Bulletin' below 🔊👇 Dir. @AnastasiaOseiK Get tix 🎟️ eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-bulletin…

Next Saturday, we'll be commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Ugandan Asian expulsion with a panel discussion plus our exhibition and afternoon tea at The National Archives at Kew: RSVP by email (details in flyer). It promises to be a truly memorable event 1/2

Totally fascinating true story thread!! It's amazing what you find in declassified government Archives... This one is an early example of fake news. It's an episode which features in one of our audio dramas next week, about the Irish War of Independence...

The first document is an example of fake news - seen here a fake 'Irish Bulletin' dated 30 March 1921. This was printed using real Irish Bulletin equipment, seized in a raid.
