Building on the success of the https://www.brightersound.com/the-feed/here-to-remember-artists/ – first Here to Remember, this commission is for South Asian and South Asian mixed heritage artists.
Curated by https://www.instagram.com/daytimers_uk/ – Daytimers, a collective championing the sounds, stories and voices of South Asian creative communities, as part of the commission you’ll take part in group workshops and archival research, with one-to-one mentoring to support your creative process.
If chosen you’ll spend the summer and early autumn exploring collective memory and heritage through your own experiences of history, memory and lineage.
This is for you if you’re interested in:

“To go forward we must remember our past and hold on to the present. DAYTIMERS, a collective and platform for South Asian artistry, is named in honour of obscured pasts. We eagerly anticipate ‘Here To Remember’ as a chance to keep that promise and facilitate artists to pave the way forward with this commission.” – Daytimers
