Cambridge Gurdwara

I Come From A Place

In 2014 Kettle’s Yard commissioned social documentary photographer, Katherine Green who, in collaboration with communities across North Cambridge, captured the growth of community-led activity in the area since its formation.

Katherine Green captured portraits of many residents who have been at the forefront of community activity since the estates were constructed to those who continue volunteering today. She is a trained oral historian and she recorded interviews and memories of the area from her subjects that were included in a final exhibition at Kettle’s Yard in October 2014.

Here are Katherine Green’s portraits of those involved with the Cambridge Gurdwara.

An older man in a turban and suit stands beside an older woman in a headscarf and patterned tunic inside a Gurdwara.

A woman in a gold headscarf and patterned apron stands in a kitchen, with a second woman visible in the background.

Two women stand in a kitchen, one wearing a grey scarf and the other a yellow scarf with a bird-patterned apron over a tunic.
