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.

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

You can see a trailer of the Documentary by clicking here.

GoPro Timelapse of Hola Mahalla: The Forgotten Festival - Exhibition Preparation

When the exhibition was being put up, we decided to film the whole process. We've got a few videos filmed around the exhibition preparation and the first we're sharing was filmed using a GoPro camera. It looks pretty cool and can be seen below. We had it on the floor, in one of the corners to begin with and then moved it around. It's an interesting camera to have and one I will be experimenting more with on shoots going forward.

It is a small camera and kind of disappears into the background. I think on the next shoot I'll try to utilise how small it is. It's so small I nearly left it there at the end of the shoot.
