The Sampad Story

Edited by Tasawar Bashir

What is the sampad story?
How did it begin and who took part in shaping the company’s destiny?
What will be the lasting legacy of the first twenty years?

This limited edition 20th anniversary publication aims to bring to attention the quite dazzling range of activity that sampad has generated over twenty years. Two decades that have seen the socio-political and cultural landscape of Britain transform itself as it embraced the many challenges and opportunities presented by the new century.

Set up in 1990 by its founder Piali Ray OBE, sampad has become one of the most dynamic arts organisations operating in Britain today.

Featuring previously unpublished images of performances, community events, workshops and behind-the-scenes rehearsals, with memories, anecdotes and philosophical gems contributed by the artists, producers and audience members who have helped to shape the first two decades of sampad’s history.

This insightful book captures the struggle, the moments of joy and the spiritual journey that has contributed to shifting the British arts scene forever.

Aimed at individuals with an interest in arts and culture, social history, humanities, public policy and international relations.
