Synopsis

EVERYWHERE IS SOMEWHERE is a memoir from Naseem Khan, the daughter of an Indian father and German mother, whose seminal book, The Art Britain Ignores, framed the argument that by dismissing or ignoring 'minority arts' in Britain, the UK was depriving itself of one of the most enriching features of its artistic life. Without Naseem’s vision perhaps some of the most gifted writers, painters, dancers or musicians would never see their work reach an audience.

As award winning poet Jacob Ross says `In hindsight, and in the light of the subsequent impact of BAME arts and culture on British society, Khan’s assertion was visionary. This is a writer whose legacy will remain for us, inspirational and lasting.’ But by highlighting the missed chances and opportunities of the past Naseem signals what hope there is for the future, written by someone whose gift was to bring people together, breaking down the walls of ignorance and enabling everyone to move forward.

Naseem didn’t have all the answers and the arts can’t heal all divisions but EVERYWHERE IS SOMEWHERE may be the book we all reach to when we are in need of some kind of answer to what is going on today in these times.
