The Identity Projects

The moment you've all been waiting for!

2008-06-24T04:36:00.001-07:00

The launch of the booklets and exhibition will be on the evening of Monday 14th July at Ocean Terminal. Invitations will be sent out with further details to your home addresses. You'll be sent extra invites to give to your friends/family. You'll be given certificates and your photos and there will be a chance to watch the documentary you starred in! See you there!

Change of dates

2008-04-21T06:48:00.000-07:00

Due to unforseen circumstances, the date of the exhibition and booklet launch has now been postponed. Keep an eye on this site for updates. We'll let you know the new date as soon as it has been confirmed.

Exhibition and Booklet

2008-03-17T09:35:00.001-07:00

The exhibition will be launched at The National Library of Scotland on Wednesday 7 May at 7pm. It's on George IV Bridge and we'll be handing out certificates to you so please come!

DAY OUT!

2008-02-28T04:35:00.001-08:00

There will be no more evening workshops now. Instead we are planning a day out so we can have a bit of fun and also get some stuff for the exhibition and booklet. How does Wednesday 26 or Sunday 30 March sound? Expect a phonecall soon! :-) Vicky

Exhibition ideas

2008-02-18T01:41:00.000-08:00

Check out the YouTube links above. The first one was sent by Umar and the second one is a response from a non-Muslim. The other two are a bit random - not my choice! Though I was really enjoying the wee song. :-) Send me your comments. What do you think for the exhibition? Any ideas?

Parliament trip

2008-01-30T09:23:00.000-08:00

Thanks to everyone who came. It was a good chance to ask MSPs questions and see the Parliament. Disappointing turnout though. Only one Sikh! C'mon guys. Make an effort! This is for you and your community. We're not doing it for laughs.

Feedback from you:

* An hour wasn't long enough to speak to the MSPs but you got some good questions in
* Some of the MSPs avoided answering your questions properly
* You didn't like how the MSPs were all drinking and partying
* Only one Asian MSP!
* Bashir was great (btw his email address is Bashir.Ahmad.msp@scottish.parliament.uk)
* You liked the tour but you wanted to see more of the building

Check out the photos of the Parliament visit ---->

If you could ask anyone one question...

2008-01-24T02:33:00.000-08:00

Bin Laden – Did you have anything to do with the twin towers?

Britney Spears – Do you like me?

Bush – What did he got out causing the WAR!!!

Michael Jackson – Why did you turn white?

UN Secretary – Why was Bush and Blair not tried for war crimes after they murdered millions of innocent people?

Mohammed Ali – Why did you convert to Islam even though the world was open to you? Was it because Islam is the world?

Still Lives photos

2008-01-22T11:22:00.000-08:00

Hello all! You will notice that your 'Still Life' portraits and the photos of your objects are in the box above right. Don't they look great! Many thanks to Elizabeth Handy for managing to make you all look so very handsome. We could use these in the exhibition in May and St John's Church seem to be keen to have them displayed during the Festival as well. We will get copies printed for you to keep nearer the time.

Photography in the next workshop

Muslim Group, Monday 21 January, 8pm - 945pm, St John's Church hall, Princes Street

Bring friends along!

In Sympathy

2007-12-10T05:47:00.000-08:00

The EIFA were very sorry to hear that Mrs Singh, mother and grandmother to many in the Sikh community, sadly died at the weekend. This was a significant loss to the community and, as a result, the Identity workshop was postponed until further notice. Our hearts go out to all those who knew and loved her.
