Join Karenjit Sandhu and special guests to celebrate the Panchayat Collection and the launch of gestalt

Karenjit Sandhu’s gestalt is a new poetry collection shaped by her research into the Panchayat Collection at Tate Library. Founded in London in 1988 by Shaheen Merali and Al-An deSouza with Bhajan Hunjan, Symrath Patti and Shanti Thomas, Panchayat was a pioneering group of artists engaged in artmaking, activism and communal archiving. The Panchayat Collection brings together books, catalogues, magazines, videos, slides and ephemera that reflect this collective history and capture a wide range of artistic, cultural and political experiences, often focusing on race, class, gender, and memory.
