A creative and playful approach to yoga, developing an understanding of the philosophy, exploring the relationship between tension and effort; using the breath and a little mischievous wiggling(!!) to ease the mind.
This exhibition presents textile artwork inspired by each family’s unique chai recipe. Each piece includes a collection of handmade elements where stitching, crochet and fabric staining sits alongside family photographs, handwritten recipes and fragments of maps of South East Asia.
With stunning cinematography and skilfully subdued tension The Sweet Requiem is an unforgettable reflection on an ongoing but too often forgotten refugee crisis.
Masala Festival is teaming up with Strictly Spoken to present a stellar line up of North East spoken word poets exploring themes of Identity, South Asian Heritage and Inspiration.
