About

Nottingham-born artist, Permindar Kaur, had her solo exhibition Hiding Out in the Djanogly Gallery in 2014. She is joined in conversation by artist, curator and art historian, Eddie Chambers, who has written about her sculpture and done much to raise awareness of the work of BAME artists in the UK since the 1980s. In this conversation Eddie Chambers quizzes Permindar Kaur about her thirty or so years as a practising artist and how she found her voice among Black and Asian artists in the 1990s in an art scene dominated by identity politics. He talks to her about her preoccupation with childhood and play as expressed in a managerie of toy-like creatures and the notion of ‘home’ to which she frequently returns in her work.

As leaders and role models in their respective fields, we are delighted to bring this interview to you live as part of the University of Nottingham’s Diversity Festival.

Permindar Kaur’s work is also included in the forthcoming Djanogly Gallery exhibition Breaking the Mould: Sculpture by Women Since 1945 (18 September 2021-9 January 2022).
