Part of Square Eyes TV Festival from Midlands Arts Centre. This event takes place at The Heath Bookshop
Beginning her acting journey with community drama at Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham-born talent Maya Sondhi has since appeared in TV series like Silent Witness, Citizen Khan and Line Of Duty. But it’s her screenwriting that’s really boosted Sondhi’s profile in the past few years, specifically as creator of ITV police drama DI Ray, produced by Line of Duty’s Jed Mercurio and now into its second series (with every single episode penned by Sondhi).
This special Square Eyes TV Festival edition of Sampad’s Chai and Chat with Sondhi will explore the different facets of her career as well as her love of the second city and how her British-Indian heritage has impacted her writing – we invite you to join us to share how seeing your city and your community on screen affects how you view the stories that are told about Birmingham and Brummies.
Chai and Chat is a women led event created by Sampad South Asian Arts and Heritage, and is a series of informal, yet inspiring, discussion sessions about a range of topics. It aims to encourage women and girls to get their voices heard through creative projects in the arts.
