Aakash Odedra Company is working with Leicester Belgrave Mela who lead a consortium with Leicester Neighbourhoods & Library service and Leicester Print Workshop to devise a pilot community-led creative activity for older people. An ambitious programme of visual arts, dance, storytelling and reminiscence activities for adults over 60 in South Asian communities. Cultural themes of cuisine, music, film and photography will inform stories leading to a zine, a celebration event and a poster series that is to be exhibited in the view of how the world has changed significantly in their lifetime. Art is about the human story – this project promotes this and enables our communities to gain back their independence, giving them confidence in front of others.
