Commissioned artist JAG LALL visits the Hola Mahalla exhibition

Jag Lall made it to the Hola Mahalla exhibition currently running at Kala Sangam in Bradford over the weekend.

Jag was commissioned to produce the following piece of Art for the exhibition based on a photograph I took at Hola Mahalla.

You can order the prints of it by clicking here.

Whilst he was in Bradford I managed to film an interview with him that I will be sharing soon. Jag was here as part of the Bradford Literature Festival that we currently have running in the city. It's really positive to see events like this come to our city and good exposure for the exhibition as it broadens the audience beyond Bradford.

Jag had produced some art for a book of poems by Sir Mohammad Iqbal (1877-1938) that had been translated from Urdu to English. I was intrigued to discover that the Sir Mohammad Iqbal has composed a poem called 'Nanak' about the founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak Dev Ji. I'll be doing a bit of research on this and hope to share some information soon.

I also managed to get a few pictures with Jag.

I'll be sharing the filmed interview with him in a few days.

Hola Mahalla Exhibition run extended to 30 June 2015

We got confirmation today that the exhibition 'Hola Mahalla: The Forgotten Festival' has been extended to the end of June, which is brilliant news for the project. We'll eventually have three months showcasing the exhibition, which features Sikh imagery centred on Hola Mahalla, in a gallery space, in the city centre of Bradford.

It also gives those of you that haven't seen the exhibition already the chance to check it out.

We're hoping to add a few more pieces over the coming days, so please do pay the exhibition a visit whilst it's on.

The launch on the 18 April was a great success and you can watch the video of the day below.

You can also see some of the photos from the launch by clicking here.

We managed to film the exhibition going up and you can see that process with our GoPro exhibition video below.
