Feedback

The following are a selection of comments left in the comments book about the exhibition 'Layers & Threads':

Very good compositions, sharp images and a brilliant outcome

Excellent work by up and coming artists

Really impressive display of an increible range of artists

Excellent effort by all the contributors. I have felt at home at least for a few minutes. We want to see more of these exhibitions (Cllr Norbury Ward)

A fantastic event, should be advertised better. It has evoked for me the sense of culture & identity which I am proud of. Congratulations and well done to ALL concerned. I will look forward to future notices of your forthcoming plans (Cllr Bensham Manor Ward)

It's a wonderful event, well organised and skillfully put together

It is fascinating and brilliant

Very well put presentation of asian roots and new asian work

Very good layout with interesting images and concepts

Absolutely brilliant. Things like this make you keep the faith with Croydon

Nadia's photos are stunning, beautiful & dramatic. I hope she has a great career

Inspiring. Love idea behind exhibition until I got to female soft porn. Should I be looking at her breast or her face?

Interesting & imaginative to see asian cultural art from young british artists. Would love the opportunity to do something similar

Brilliant work - I love your meditation place. I could come here everyday!

The work was brilliant and very inspirational. I loved seeing different asian cultures all within one roof

I really love all the pictures especially the paint wall

Superb excellent amazing you are awesome totally inspiring work shame about the mounting but your work is ace

liberating, thoughtful and fun desi style. well done

very tasteful and elegant (proud to be an asian woman). My daughter loved it

Very vibrant, visually and creatively. I love visiting this exhibition - very therapeutic and gives me lots of inspiration. Thank you!

Good (must have taken ages to make)

Infectious beat!

Overall, a good exhibition. It would be nice to have more info about the sound of the drum

lovely experience

This is a beautiful portrayal of what is amazing about cultures across the globe. Thank you (ps. I would love to meet Bula Agbo, the artist whose words and art touched me)

What a splash of beautiful culture!

I really enjoy the environment. I suggest one very important factor which is missing, the social awareness specially in Croydon of the greatness, wonderful religion ISLAM

I like the ambiance provided in this quiet corner of Croydon library and it made me think and feel tranquil. Excellent presentation

I liked the paint explosion picture it looks like a massive firework!

So interesting and varied and illuminating

Fantastic photographs showing the diversity and beauty of Asian women

Great. I wish all the writing was available in leaflet form and pictures

Just a word of appreciation to say 'wonderful'! Especially impressed by photo prints of Nadia Mussani - to say she is 'Kenyan Asian' is meaningless as to deny her roots of Indian sub continent

Enlightening to see a natural and accessible presentation into a small window of asian life

It's terrible they (the younger folk) do not know about the poems, plays etc of R.Tagore

I am 18 "i.e. younger folk" and I know about the plays of R.Tagore. Don't judge everyone!

Pretty exciting exhibition, like a bouquet of flowers, neatly arranged, beaming out the diversity of their colours and fragrance. Keep us the good job!

I particularly enjoyed the work of Nasreen Memon. I like the concept of creating a sacred space within a sacred space - an art gallery. But somehow your sacred space is welcoming and loving whereas art galleries can be so cruel, unwelcoming and almost clinical. I thought that having the sounds of the family also brought a new energy into the art space, and the drumming reminds me of my body, like my breathing and heartbeat. Visually decorative and colourful, this exhibition captures the essence and diversity of asian culture. I think it's great that different cultures can share something of themselves with others and this is a true celebration
