2.00pm-3.00pm What’s Names Got To Do With It?
Artist Sharonjit Kaur Sutton is inviting everyone to an open discussion aboutnames, and to create their own zines around this theme. What do our namesmean? Where have they come from? Why do they matter? Do they matter? Whydo we change them? You can share stories of your own, or someone you know -or you might just feel like having a chat!This is inspired by Sharonjit’s personal project called His Name’s Not Charlie,which started with the story of her Grandad (Ranjinder Singh Gill) who migratedfrom Kenya to London in the 1970s but was given the name “Charlie” by his British friends and colleagues – which raised interesting conversations about how
names hold a person’s, and community’s, history and identity.
