Adorned Narratives: Reflecting on Our Journey

In this episode, we take a moment to pause and reflect on Adorned Narratives: Wearing Our Stories With Pride—our first-ever collaborative pop-up, co-curated with community at its heart.Hosted during South Asian Heritage Month 2024 at The Lab E20, East London, this three-day festival was a celebration of identity, creativity, and storytelling through adornment and style. As our businesses got busier in the final quarter of the year, we stepped away for a little while, but coming back to this recap reminds us just how special this moment was.Join us as we look back at the energy, love, and connections that made this event so unique. We revisit the stories of the past, celebrate the creativity of the present, and dream about the possibilities for the future—including more exciting events in 2025!Tune in and relive this unforgettable weekend with us.A huge thanks to Molly-Rose Crossley (MRC Audio) for putting this amazing episode together and giving us a chance to reflect in the process.

The podcast encapsulates the research I have been doing around Gold jewellery collected through South Asian journeys of migration as artefacts with the capacity to be carriers of emotions and memories. With support from the Arts Council, I have spoken to a range of people within the South Asian diaspora, about their gold jewellery, what it means to them, how these pieces have travelled through migrant journeys and they memories they holds. This is Empowered Adornment, Gold Jewellery stories with Anisha Parmar. Co Produced and Edited by Molly Crossley.
