Sunny Singh
Sat 18 May 2024
An exhilarating journey through the marketplaces of Dakar and Marrakesh, the nightclubs of New York, Barcelona and Mexico City, and the ruins of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, Petra and beyond.
Join writer, novelist, public intellectual, and a champion for decolonisation and inclusion across all aspects of society, Professor Sunny Singh as she talks about her new book, A Bollywood State of Mind. The book crosses five continents and 50 years of modern Indian history and cinema and explores why Bollywood means so much to so many.
