The Singh Twins

Jallianwala: Repression and Retribution, 2019

“As well as making important episodes in shared British Indian history that have helped shaped the society we live in today accessible to a wider public, our artworks carry lessons for our modern times – not least, the vital role that journalists and the media play in exposing atrocities, giving a voice to the voiceless and ensuring that the right to justice for those oppressed in the world is fought for and preserved.”

The Singh Twins

The Singh Twins (live and work in Liverpool, England) are internationally renowned contemporary British women artists whose award-winning work has been described by Sir Simon Schama as the artistic face of modern Britain. Through their artworks, they challenge the commonly accepted Eurocentric perception of heritage and identity in art and society. As honorary citizens of Liverpool and recipients of an MBE and two honorary doctorates, their “outstanding contribution” to art has been recognised and noted in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History. Much of their work, which they describe as ‘past-modern’, deals with socio-political issues as well as narratives of colonial history.
