This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Artists from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan have joined forces for an exhibition showing a unity of ideas and visions spanning both cultures in spite of historical, political and religious divides.
The show at London’s Asia House Gallery, titled Step Across this Line for Salman Rushdie’s essay collection of the same name, was curated by New Delhi-based Deeksha Nath who says she functions as an “outsider” having never visited Pakistan or Bangladesh.
The show explores national identity, colonialism, the similarities between enemy states and the entwined histories of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
The artists exhibiting are Naeem Mohaiemen, Wakil Rahman, Saira Ansari, Mehreen Murtaza, Abhishek Hazra, Priya Sen, Hasan Elahi, Unum Babar, Firoz Mahmud , Malik Sajad, Gauri Gill, CAMP (Shaina Anand and Ashok Sukumaran) and Asim Waqif.
