National Portrait Gallery | Asia Ahmed – Bussing @nationalportraitgallery | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Artists Asia Ahmed and Narvir Singh have produced a series of short films taking themes from the Citizen Researchers and their own research to tell the story of anti-racist activism and acts of resistance connected to Ealing. The films feature archive imagery and new oral history accounts telling the story of Ealing Rises Up from the 1950s through to the 1990s.
Asia’s film Bussing focuses on the policy of bussing school children in Ealing out of the borough and the impact this had on those who experienced it, including former police officer Gurpal Virdi.
