Connecting personal identity to the artifacts of Punjab
In short: In this episode of Curator's Corner, Imran Javed pairs British Museum objects with his own personal belongings to explore the shared history of India and Pakistan.
Imran Javed uses an autobiographical approach to bridge the gap between the past and the present. By intertwining museum pieces with items from his own life, he examines his identity as a British-Punjabi and reflects on the broader histories of the Punjab region.
