'America Reacts' by Ray Farkas

With searing precision and emotional honesty, New York Reacts places us right in Manhattan, two days after the Twin Towers fell. We hear as New Yorkers try to make sense of their anger and understand the unimaginable. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/new-york-reacts

Both insightful and intriguing. This definitely opened up a new door of understanding on this issue for me. I had to figure out if these scenes were being played out by actors but according to the description on mediastorm, they are in fact raw footage from the streets of New York, two days after the 9/11 attacks.

Brilliant stuff by director Ray Farkas. I just want to know how he got the consent from these people, this is what I love to watch and create: authenticity. ... or else, I'm easily fooled by his editing. 

XV: Lee Rosy's opening night.

As part of the XV Photo festival, the Lee Rosy's tea shop hosted Nottingham Trent's first fashion only exhibition. Work was displayed by Manbir (Bam) Basi, Marija Vainilaviciute, Drew Whittam, Liam Cox and Diana Tulkina. 


Excuse the lots of grain, shaky camera panning and bad audio.... there were a lot of cocktails that night.

Me next to my work being
exhibited in the Waverly building of Nottingham Trent's art and design degree shows, on until 10th June.

Segregation and Survival: The South Asian Caste System Within The UK

Wow I have been busy! A lot has gone on.

My short documentary Segregation and Survival has been part of the Nottingham Trent XV photo festival this month and is also being shown in the Waverly building of the Nottingham Trent city campus as part of the Art and Design exhibitions. It will also be shown at the next CasteWatch UK conference in July and will be shown in London from 16th - 20th June in the Trueman brewery on Brick lane in London. I'll talk about that last bit in a later post. Here is the full length documentary, I'm very happy to have been given the opportunity to work with the people I have met over the past year and hope to continue this work in the future.
