CSRKEI Public lecture: The Singh Twins: Artistic Responses to Empire and Colonialism and its Legacies’

Start Date: 3 April 2025 6:00 pm

End Date: 3 April 2025 7:15 pm

Location: CSE016 the Cinema/Screen Room, Chester School of Education, Exton Park

The Singh Twins (Amrit and Rabindra Kaur) have exhibited their work across the globe from Britain and Continental Europe through to India and North America. Their most recent exhibition, ‘Slaves of Fashion’, questions both the historic and ongoing trade in Indian textiles.

In this talk, the Twins will discuss crucial themes that their work addresses from colonialism, and cultural ownership through to the politics and ethics of trade. Today’s international artists actually began their careers as students at the University of Chester, so this talk will be something of a homecoming for the Twins.

This lecture will be held in the Cinema Room in the School of Education Building, on the Exton Park Campus. Parking is available on the campus and is free of charge.
