Zarina Bhimji, Whitechapel Gallery

Zarina Bhimji was born in Mbarara, Uganda in 1963 to Indian parents, and moved to Britain in 1974, two years after the expulsion of Uganda’s Asian community in the Idi Amin era. She takes beautiful pictures, often of desolute and abandoned landscapes and buildings in India and East Africa. The exhibition also features her film Out of Blue from 2002 and the premiere of her latest film, Yellow Patch (2011), inspired by trade and migration across the Indian Ocean.
