The Singh Twins, 'Art and the Legacies of the Empire'

Contemporary art duo, the Singh Twins (Amrit and Rabindra Kaur) have exhibited their work across the globe from Britain and Continental Europe through to India and North America. Their most recent exhibition, ‘Slaves of Fashion’, questions both the historic and ongoing trade in Indian textiles.

In this talk, the Twins will discuss crucial themes that their work addresses from colonialism, and cultural ownership through to the politics and ethics of trade. Today’s international artists actually began their careers as students at the University of Chester, so this talk will be something of a homecoming for the Twins.
