BACK CHAT ANTHOLOGY

Moniza Alvi, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Suniti Namjoshi, Kamila Shamsie and Marina Warner respond to SALIDAA’s digital archives, unlocking stories in the baby photographs, manuscripts, marginalia and letters held in it.
Back Chat will be launched at the Museum of London in January 2007, when the artists’ readings of their contributions will be recorded by the BBC. This will be followed by a reception in the museum's Terrace Room.
