Our NAAC and TAAL Music and Dance students put on an amazing performance for all in Wollaton Park. We had singing, classical dance, bhangra, giddha, dhol and Zumba all infront of the beautiful Wollaton Hall.

Xpress Yourself...
Express Yourself

Well done to Taal Dance Academy & Saptak who raised 800 for Rosehill School for Autistic children. The event held at the Hindu Temple 6th July attracted a large gathering which raised awareness for Autism and the great work carried out by the teaching staff at Rosehill. Thank you to all the participants, hosts, audience and sponsors for their support and generous donations to make the event a huge success.

Nirvair Singh Rai & Janhavi Sharma: Memory of Land

Photographer and filmmaker Nirvair Singh Rai and visual artist Janhavi Sharma have embarked on a research project across the Punjab region of India and the holy city of Amritsar to create a new body of work. The installation, combining photography and digitally manipulated painting, seeks to remember the Jallianwalla Bagh massacre of 1919 which saw British Indian Army troops fire upon unarmed Indian civilians who were assembled for a peaceful protest and to honour the Sikh festival of Baisakhi.

Through visiting the site, and interviewing local communities, Rai and Sharma seek to understand the psychology of surviving grief through the memory of land; land being the only witness left 100 years on from this deplorable act.

When The Snow Melts

Launch event: 26 September 2019, 6PM - 9PM

Nearly four million Indian's were volunteers in the British Army during the two World Wars. The Greats Wars were truly global events, yet the process of public remembrance is often performed through the prism of national identity. This thought-provoking show draws from the personal histories of local Muslim families, and archival material to pose questions about the process of war memorialisation, empire and its interconnections.

This exhibition is part of the Muslim Memory Project charting the stories of Nottingham's Muslim communities involved in World War II, and funded by the Heritage Fund.
