Leicester: Golden Mile photographs are part of the exhibition

Mr Pujara’s series This Golden Mile documents Indian migration to Leicester and explores themes of identity, homeland and Britishness, the Hayward Gallery Touring said.

Exhibition curator Johny Pitts described Mr Pujara’s work as “groundbreaking”.

He said: “However, because he works with different ingredients, we see an eye for color and geometry, an awareness of decisive moments and even the unusual silence of William Eggleston, which so inspired the above-mentioned artists.

“But the icons are different, and so are the colours, as Pujara blurs the tones of what we associate with the working class Midlands and the North, with the interior and exterior palette of Leicester’s Indian community.”
