Zarina Bhimji

Zarina Bhimji was born in Uganda but her family were forced to leave during Idi Amin's expulsion of Ugandan Asians in 1972. The Whitechapel Gallery is currently showing a retrospective of her work.

 Her photos don't temd to show people, but rather suggest human activity through empty rooms, abandoned buildings etc.  I really liked the film and in particular the accompanying sounds in one of the galleries.
