Those From Distant Lands: Performance & Book Launch

Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating South Asian heritage through film, photography, and spoken word poetry.

Following their sold-out performances in October 2025, the visionary team returns with a special exhibition and live spoken word experience at The Landmark, Burnley. The evening will also feature the exclusive launch of ‘Those from Distant Lands‘, a stunning new coffee table book that captures stories of identity, culture, and belonging.

Those from Distant Lands – is an evocative and powerful journey into the rich South-Asian heritage of Pendle. This exhibition honours the early pioneers who laid the foundations of a thriving community. Through their determination, resilience and spirit, they built not only new lives, but a lasting legacy brick by brick, story by story.

Developed over several months by our passionate group of young R&D Creatives, this project is a heartfelt tribute to identity, belonging, and the enduring influence of those who came before us. It reminds us that we are all standing on the shoulders of giants

Join us. Be inspired. Celebrate the journey.
