In 1978, the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher stated that \u201cpeople are really afraid that this country might be swamped by people with a different culture\u201d. For the last 40 years this infamous speech has been confronted by artists, who have visually challenged its content.<\/p>\n

This event explored how 3 contemporary artists, Bhajan Hunjan, Hardeep Pandhal and Raksha Patel, have been impacted by, and responded to, the fluctuating socio-political position of race in Britain. The British Art Network: British South Asian Visual Art Post Cool Britannia, is convened by Camberwell College of Arts in partnership with Tate and Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.<\/p>\n

The recording from the event is available to watch below.<\/p>\n
