EVERYWHERE IS SOMEWHERE is a memoir from Naseem Khan, the daughter
of an Indian father and German mother, whose seminal book, The Art
Britain ignores, framed the argument that by dismissing or ignoring
`minority arts' in Britain, the UK was depriving itself of one of
the most enriching features of its artistic life. Without Naseem's
vision perhaps some of the most gifted writers, painters, dancers
or musicians would never see their work reach an audience. As award
winning poet Jacob Ross says `In hindsight, and in the light of the
subsequent impact of BAME arts and culture on British society,
Khan's assertion was visionary. This is a writer whose legacy will
remain for us, inspirational and lasting.' But by highlighting the
missed chances and opportunities of the past Naseem signals what
hope there is for the future, written by someone whose gift was to
bring people together, breaking down the walls of ignorance and
enabling everyone to move forward. Naseem didn't have all the
answers and the arts can't heal all divisions but EVERYWHERE IS
SOMEWHERE may be the book we all reach too when we are in need of
some kind of answer to what is going on today in these times.
