Listen ""What are the legacies of colonialism?" with The Singh Twins"
Episode Synopsis
What are the legacies of colonialism and how do these legacies still affect us today? We speak to internationally acclaimed British artists, The Singh Twins, to discuss their work, their journey as artists and the narratives of Empire, colonialism, conflict and slavery that their work confronts.
In 2019 the Manchester Museum and the Partition Museum in Amritsar, India came together to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, co-producing the exhibition 'Jallianwala 1919 – Punjab Under Siege'. As a part of the exhibition The Singh Twins presented a unique creative response to this largely hidden episode of British rule in India. The triptych piece entitled Jallianwala: Repression and Retribution examines the massacre, its historical context and its legacy, with many citing the event as a turning point in the fight for Indian Independence.
The Twins are also active members of the collective currently helping to co-curate the Manchester Museum’s South Asia Gallery, due to open in 2022. This groundbreaking partnership with the British Museum will result in the UK's first permanent gallery exploring the histories and experiences of the South Asian diaspora.
Placing Manchester’s South Asian diaspora communities at the heart of the gallery, this co-curation approach has inspired diverse communities to come together with the ambition to tell the stories that people are most passionate about and really want to share.

Manchester Museum is on a mission to become the most imaginative, caring and inclusive museum in the world, and in this podcast we will share open and honest conversations with special guests, which will inform, entertain and inspire.
Through these conversations we hope to reframe what it means for museums to care, and explore how we can build understanding, empathy and love for our world and each other.
We want to raise awareness of rarely told and overlooked histories. The first series of the podcast will explore this theme, developing on some of the projects and exhibitions where we are helping shed light on the things they didn’t teach us in school.
