Outrageous Women: Marriage, Religion and Culture
Outrageous Women: Marriage, religion and culture is a display inspired by the IWM exhibition Chila Welcomes You by artist Chila Kumari Singh Burman, in which she offers a personal perspective on stories of Indian migration to Britain following the Second World War.
Created by a local group of Indian Punjabi women known as 'The Desi Grannies', this unique display of artwork explores family, marriage, religion, and the role of women within their culture.
