Jasleen Kaur: Boomerang
Exhibition Walk-Through with Amanprit Sandhu

The walk-through of Jasleen Kaur‘s first solo exhibition at the gallery Boomerang with curator and writer Amanprit Sandhu on 13 December 2025. Featuring a new body of work, it considered how histories and narratives are managed and manufactured, socialised and maintained.

Throughout the exhibition, Kaur looked not only to the movement of the boomerang, but also to the concept of the ‘imperial boomerang’ propounded by author and politician Aimé Césaire. As his thesis contends, the boomerang effect reveals how violence cannot be contained – the imperial centre is the place where the boomerang’s arc of flight begins, spilling out degradation across the spaces of empire, before circling back to its origin. Kaur’s experiential entanglement blurs the demarcation of ‘over there’ and the ‘over here.’ Her work emanates from a position of how events happening elsewhere reverberate both on a macro level, in public societal structures, and on a micro level, within the intimacy of our domestic lives and personal relationships.

Sandhu’s text, ‘Major and Minor Notes’, written in response to Kaur’s work, is included in Hollybush Issue 21 (January 2026) designed by Cecilia Serafini.
