POWER OF WOMEN AND FRINGE FESTIVAL 2023

  • Mathushaa Sagthidas

Excited to announce ‘NOT JUST BROWN, NOT JUST INDIAN’ will be exhibited part of Power of Women Festival and Fringe 2023!! �♥️

“This free exhibition in the windows of @margateartsclub runs throughout March and focuses on the lived experiences and beauty of some really incredible South Asian women as well as celebrations, traditions and history of south Asian countries from a female perspective.”

As Eelam Tamil Woman, like most other south Asians, I just made the assumption I was Indian as if that’s the only country to exist in South Asia and I feel our cultures and traditions are classed as one (hence the name). It was as if I was made to feel that my ‘appearance’ didn’t seem to fit the expectation of what some outside and even within the South Asian community believed a Tamil woman should be.

“Working with SA women from their respective countries, Mathushaa Sagthidas (@mathuxphotos) wanted to show parts of their stories and culture from an authentic perspective - to give them a space and chance to celebrate who they are and everything they have been raised around; to really amplify these stories.

You can see this exhibition for free from Wednesday 1st March.

You can read more about the project here - https://www.mathushaasagthidasphotography.co.uk/not-just-brown-not-just-indian

From 9am on 1.03.23 to 5pm on 31.03.23 at Margate Arts Club on 276 Northdown Road, Margate. FREE EVENT.”
