The Lost Voices of Partition

Join us to mark South Asian Heritage Month 2023 where we’ll be showcasing the stories of older South Asian women (who were young children or were born shortly after the Partition of India and the newly formed state of Pakistan) touching on the themes of mass migration, dislocation, trauma, silence, loss, love and hope.

The Lost Voices of Partition, Thursday 17th August, 5pm to 7pm, GWL, Free, Women only

Working with groups across Glasgow, we’ll share creative writings by women through poetry, spoken word, songs and an animated short film created by animator Stacy Bias from Your Moving Story.
