Runjeet Singh Gallery was featured in Harper's Bazaar India's article on significant galleries platforming South Asian Art in the UK.
BEYOND LONDON
Not every voice in this conversation is based in the capital. Runjeet Singh Gallery, based in Royal Leamington Spa, takes a different approach: a focus on the diaspora communities of the Midlands, often overlooked by the art world’s metropolitan focus.
“It is our belief that the full diaspora story can only be told through a wider, more inclusive look at the cultural landscape of the UK,” Singh tells me. Birmingham, Leicester, and Coventry, cities with deep South Asian roots, are integral to how this story unfolds.
And yet Singh is also clear about London’s gravitational pull. Many clients are based there, as are the fairs, with institutional partnerships likely to follow. What the Midlands offers is not an alternative to London, but a correction to the idea that this culture is concentrated in one place.
