Leith looks to the East

Published:  30 September, 2008

Ocean Terminal shopping centre in Leith hosted three Asian-themed art exhibitions as part of the Edinburgh Mela Festival last month. The top floor of the shopping centre was transformed into a gallery and one of the exhibitions, 'Soho Road to the Punjab' was a Scottish premiere. It tells the story, through a photographic showcase, of the emergence of contemporary bhangra music in the UK.

Another exhibition, 'Art Masala: a spicy blend of art from India' featured a collection of contemporary paintings from independent artists around India, while 'Dimension & Expression' focused on Indian classical dance and the hand gestures that are renowned with it.
