This exhibition aims to provide British Asians with a sense of unity in the sometimes odd upbringing from having South Asian values brought into their British childhood.

East London’s the Old Truman Brewery will be the host to Burnt Roti’s ‘The Beauty of Being British Asian’. This week long exhibition will showcase the work of 15 British South Asian artists: each have selected a line from writer Nikita Marwaha‘s essay ‘The Beauty of Being British Asian’, and are presenting work reflecting how this line mirrors their life and upbringing. The exhibition will take place in Shop 11 on Drury Lane, Brick Lane, London.
