After the Partition: Suman Gujral’s story

Artist Suman Gujral became interested in Partition through stories shared by her mother, weaving those stories and memories into her poetry and art practice. Suman’s parents were Sikhs living in Lahore, who fled to Amritsar to meet family and friends very soon after Partition. She moved to England in 1965 with her parents and sister, leaving her brother behind with grandparents. She moved to Essex recently, when she was offered an art studio at Parndon Mill in Harlow, where she continues to make work about Partition and the effect it has on the displacement of families.
