Throughout 2009, Chila Kumari Burman, Leverhulme Artist in Residence at the University of East London, worked with social science students and staff to explore

autobiographical materials and ideas visually, drawing on students’ academic work, personal histories, and social and political understandings. Chila also worked with UEL’s Centre for

Narrative Research on a research project, ‘You Are Here’: East London Self-Portraits. The project investigated visual and verbal self-representations across a range of

East London environments. The exhibition Visual Autobiographies displays a selection of the images produced by students and research participants

during this year of collaborative work, alongside work produced by Chila during her residency.

An exhibition of work by students from the University of East London, art workshop participants from East London and the artist Chila Kumari Burman.
