Between 1960 and 1980, thousands of Pakistani families would communicate between Pakistan and the UK using cassette recordings - which have since been stored in attics, suitcases and garages across the UK.
As part of South Asian Heritage Month, @ModusArts dropped the "Tape Letters" pod, ranscribing and presenting some of these cassettes, and interviews with the people who had received them.
Fascinating culture pod. Take 10 minutes and check one of these out:

Have you visited the Tape Letters Exhibition at Ashton Market?
The exhibition launched in February 2024 and will be up until August 2024. The exhibition transports visitors into the stories of Tameside's Pakistani community between 1960s-80s.

AOB was delighted to be the venue for @ModusArts Tape Letters project.. the practice of recording and sending messages on cassette tape, an unorthodox method of communication by Pakistanis who migrated and settled in the UK between 1960-1980!

We want to thank #PIMo @ca18140 and all participants of our workshop "Voices in Motion"! It was a full success and we learned so many new things about the voic, audio letters, memory and how to listen to messages produced in enforced contexts. Thank you!!
