Share Your Sari Story

Every sari has a story and we’re looking to share yours.

Presented by Midlands Arts Centre and Sampad South Asian Arts and Heritage, Sari Stories is a new exhibition opening in May 2025. As part of this exhibition, we’re showcasing personal reflections on the sari.

We’re inviting people from Birmingham and the Midlands to share a photograph and the story behind their sari for potential inclusion in the exhibition at MAC. Your story could reflect a special memory or a significant life event tied to wearing the sari.

How to Submit Your Story

Who can Submit A Story

  • The only criteria are that you live in the West Midlands. We welcome applications that reflect the diversity of the West Midlands population. Those under the age of 16 are welcome to share their stories, but this must come with consent from a parent/guardian.

Please note that while we’d love to share all the stories, we may only feature a selection in the exhibition.

Sari Stories is part of Sari Season at MAC, June-Nov 2025, inspired by The Offbeat Sari
