The South Asian Diaspora Arts Archive, which I chair, has turned to crowdfunding to bring in outstanding collections from first generation artists and performers before it's too late: crowdfunder.co.uk/sadaa-urge… If you can spread the news, or even donate, that would be fab🤗

Internationally-acclaimed Akram Khan, Shobana Jeyasingh and Mavin Khoo were keynote speakers. The finale 'Navadisha Celebrates' featured South Asian dance styles including rarely seen forms like Mohiniyattam and Odissi.  ​ @Akademi @SADAAlive @SoniaSabriCo @ChitralekaDance
Lovely afternoon spent at @BM_AG with @SADAAlive since moving the entire archive to their new home in Birmingham. Wonderful and important record of the development of South Asian Dance and Arts in the UK. @nrityabc was privileged to be able to connect with it! @HeritageFundUK

Thrilled to be spending the next couple of months cataloguing Lakshmi Holmström’s new archive with @SADAAlive at the @BM_AG, especially as I’ve just got my hands on this Virago edition of short stories she edited #MuseumWeek #WomenMW
