The aim of this project is to give a voice to first generation Indian women, and to represent the legacy of the women in one family through exploring memory and space. It will explore both physical and metaphorical spatiality through a story of migration and belonging in a new country by making your place.
The Kaleidoscopic memories project evolved from creating singular Polaroid images capturing moments of instant time, to creating new portraits that projected layers of the past onto the bodies of the present.
The new images represent how the past diminishes and loses its form to become half-truths and new truths – my Parvati.
My Parvati is my holy [goddess], a saying from my mother in how she defines the memories she has made of her family and her life. They are her own and her truth.
This is a project is intergenerational, my inspiration has come from talking to and working with my mother, sister and niece: three generations of the same family.

This project explores issues of feminism, Post colonialism and British identity.
Two sets of photographs have been developed using the Masterji archive.

Intergenerational Women Short film A continuous conversation explores identity from one generation to another in the physical act of wearing a sari, the 9 yards of fabric folds and twist with each memory: changing and repeating from one body to another.
