Kaleidoscope: Immigration & Modern Britain
Somerset House, London
Kaleidoscope: Immigration & Modern Britain was a major group exhibition at Somerset House, London, exploring the impact of immigration on British culture through film, photography, and visual art. The show examined how migration has shaped the nation's identity across decades of social and economic transformation.
Dosanjh's contributions included screenings of Year Zero: Black Country (2012) — his feature-length archival documentary tracing Sikh migration to the industrial West Midlands — and 1965, a short film evoking the moment of arrival through found super-8 footage. Both works sat within a broader programme of films and artworks by artists engaged with the histories and afterlives of immigration in Britain.
Somerset House is one of the UK's most prestigious cultural venues, and Kaleidoscope represented a significant moment of national visibility for Dosanjh's filmmaking practice.
