I thought asking someone to tell a story was a simple thing to do, however I’ve just spent the day finding out that is not so. There are all these things to be considered, like reasons, methods, challenges, dilemmas, accuracy – and don’t even get me started on ethics! Artseka have just started a 3 year project called Sanskriti, which will be exploring migration, the linen industry here and influences from South Asia. Rachel has kindly invited me to take part in the oral history part of the project, which will involve interviewing people and recording their stories. I’ll post updates as the project unfolds, and luckily what I’m writing in this blog is my own story, so I can tell it with delightful gay abandon. I’ve no pics of today. While it was really interesting and food for the brain, it wasn’t visually exciting. Well, perhaps the sandwiches for lunch were, but these Artsekta images are much better, and you can see lots more if you visit their website www.artsekta.org.uk. The end. For now.
