Picture credit: Nasia Sarwar-Skuse. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Museums in Wales need to better represent Welsh communities of South Asian descent, according to an artist exhibiting at St Fagan\u2019s National Museum of History.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasia Sarwar-Skuse has created a series of art installations in collaboration with the social enterprise Ways of Working as part of a two-year programme called <a href=\"https:\/\/museum.wales\/whatson\/perspectives\/\">Perspective(s)<\/a>. For the artist, the installations are meant to make visitors think about how Welsh museums should tell South Asian histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow do we go in and say, \u2018We&#8217;re going to decolonise a museum?\u2019\u201d said Skuse-Sarwar. \u201cDecolonising isn\u2019t some grand gesture of ripping everything up. It\u2019s about inclusivity. It&#8217;s about decentering the dominant narrative and allowing space for care and empathy in institutions.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt can begin by reassessing who is shown in museums and who is silenced. As a brown Muslim woman, it was obvious that I was nowhere in the artefacts. There was nothing about my heritage, even though I&#8217;m Welsh by virtue of living here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St Fagans is linked to a significant period in the artist&#8217;s cultural history. \u201cI\u2019m of Pakistani heritage,\u201d she said. \u201cWe were colonised by the British. I grew up listening to stories from my parents about colonisation, the fight for independence from the British, and the creation of Pakistan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum is located on the grounds of St Fagans Castle, once home to the Clive-Windsor family. The Clive family built a fortune through the colonial exploits of Robert Clive, or Clive of India. He helped expand the British Empire across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives, and Myanmar and became a multimillionaire in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa3-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u2018Clive of India\u2019 adopted the five-pointed star on his coat-of-arms. The symbol can be seen on the terraces of St Fagans castle. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A sofa that Clive had made for his home in London was bought at auction by Amgueddfa Cymru in 1958. The \u2018Clive Sofa\u2019, as it is now known, sits at the centre of one of the exhibits, which depicts a British South Asian living room in the \u2018Wales is\u2026\u2019 gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe room is recreated from my memories of growing up in Britain in the late 70s and early 80s,\u201d she said. \u201cIt&#8217;s quite typical of the sort of houses that my aunts had, we had. The tea trolley, the lamp, the family photos, the television and the rug.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most poignant thing in there is the Clive Sofa. We wanted to use that sofa to recreate a living room that was a safe environment for immigrants. To place Clive\u2019s sofa in there, and for me to sit on it and host conversations about colonialism and memory, was an important act of turning the gaze on Robert Clive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist\u2019s second exhibit is an immersive installation inspired by the tent of Tipu Sultan, ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore. Edward Clive, the son of Robert, served as Governor of Madras in India and played a key role in the defeat and death of T\u012bp\u016b Sult\u0101n in 1799.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa2-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tipu Sultan\u2019s tent, which British colonisers looted, is part of the Clive Museum at Powis Castle in Wales.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarwar-Skuse\u2019s recreation of the tent is inspired by Tipu Sultan\u2019s dream diary, which was looted by the British when they raided his palace. \u201cThey took his dream diary from there, which was found under his pillow,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is quite painful, really, to know the diary was looted like that\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dream diary is currently in the British Library in London.

It was this moment of history passing from the tent to my hands. I couldn&#8217;t get it out of my mind. I remember thinking, I need to do something with this. And so, when the Perspective(s) commission came up, it was just a no-brainer to bring this story and this connection to light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/Stfagans-clivesofa1-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sarwar-Skuse\u2019s third exhibit at St Fagans is a film performed by Sanea Singh and filmed by Ruslan Pilyarov.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist\u2019s final exhibit is an interactive installation that invites visitors to engage with questions about colonialism by writing answers on Post-it Notes.
