STATION

Description

Station is an interactive live-performance installation set in a traditional South-Asian living room, combining film, music and performances that celebrate diasporic histories, heritage and culture. 

Artist Hussina Raja shares a body of work focusing on migration and belonging, told through aural testimonies and a visual archive offering a retrospective on migrant experiences since the early 1940s to date. Station includes works by poet/writer Zia Ahmed and a soundscape by musician Sarathy Korwar. 

Accompanying the installation will be a range of curated events including live music, artist talks and tours. 

Supported by the Genesis Foundation Kickstart Fund, the BFI Film Audience Network with National Lottery funding as part of New Directions and Arts Council England Award.
