Supnaa Dreams of our Fathers is a photographic project about the migration on my family to Wolverhampton, UK by artist Anand Chhabra. We have chosen this venue as this is the best place to exhibit due to its location amongst the most densely populated areas for South aSians to visit in nearby Normanton.
Looking forward to the opening and it’s been a challenging one. It’s a large space and a challenging one to fill with our work but very thankful to the Arboretum management and also for FORMAT24 for helping to identify this space for their festival in 2024. We have been engaging with local south Asian groups to help share their stories and also establish an archive for the South Asian community in Derby as a result of this work. The work has been created to show three parts of a the narrative of the story the family, the protest and the dream. Look forward to welcoming you there and the artist Anand Chhabra will be invigilating the space see opening times dates for the Arboretum below.
