Centred on storytelling and oral narratives, the dialogues within this work illuminate how histories exist in the multiple spaces between national identities, race, gender and diaspora. Syed conjures images and stories from the inner worlds of South Asian people who came to Glasgow in the 60s and 70s, for whom the will to imagine served as a bridge to buffer the harsh realities of post-war Britain against a backdrop of political change. Matter is simultaneously revealed and redacted, forcing different forms of viewing, and allowing different temporalities to surface.
