Historical discussion of colonial contexts and representations of Indian performers in 19th-century Britain.
This talk explores the story of the first Indian temple dancers who arrived in London in 1838 and reportedly landed at London Bridge. Through archival research, it traces their performances, the buildings where they appeared, and their place in the city’s cultural history. The event shares this overlooked story with the local community and highlights the early presence of South Asian performance in London.
This event will take place in our Research Studio. Find out about our amenities or watch a video tour of the building head to our visit us page.
What to expect
There will be a talk and then time for a short discussion after, and an opportunity to partake in some dance movements!
This event is scheduled to last 1 hour and 30 minutes. We anticipate it will end by 4pm
