6/16 (1/11) #ImmigrantLandscapes - Salama Palace (Mohamed) - Southall by Sikh Talk & Hark1karan

Words: Hark1karan
Salama Palace:

Narvir Singh started a mini series called immigrant landscapes, looking at Southall as a space in how immigrant lives are played out. He documented this in five phases through his personal observations and expierences. Myself and Sikh Talk took inspiration from this to take this a step further. We set out on this journey without knowing what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised by the stories shared with us by the people of Southall. This will be an ongoing series in Southall and other parts of London (and why not globally). We spoke at length with a number of people photographed in this series so they can tell the story of Southall from a number of perspectives of which the immigrant is one. We are simply the people sharing the story. Myself and Sikh Talk will no doubt also connect our personal experiences into it as our families are cultural linked to the area too. A blog with the recordings will follow as we share the series.
