 "Turbanology: Sikhs Unwrapped" explores the significance of the Sikh Turban (or Dastaar) through art and photography. Taking an aesthetic approach to what Sikhs consider their crown gives a new and exciting insight into the many different ways the Turban can be tied and worn. The book catalogues the art and production of the Turbanology exhibition, with exclusive content, behind-the-scenes footage and new articles providing a deeper understanding of the Sikh Turban. Today, there are many growing misgivings about this aspect of Sikh identity and what Turban-wearers stand for. "Turbanology" dispels the myths in an exciting and engaging manner to unravel the real history and heritage behind the Dastaar." | |
Following the success of the Arts Council England exhibition “Turbanology: Sikhs Unwrapped” comes a new book highlighting the importance of the Sikh Turban (or Dastaar).
The book, on general release now, catalogues the story of the Turban through art and photography. It builds on the work of the exhibition in raising awareness of the Turban through the art.
The 60 page full-colour A4 book includes a special letter from the Prime Minister David Cameron MP, who pays tribute to the project, saying: “The Government recognises the vital contribution that the Sikh community makes to national life…”
Commenting on the book, Exhibition Director and author Jay Singh-Sohal says, “Putting the art and editorial work of the exhibition into book format will enable more people to benefit from the project, including teachers and parents.”
