Shizza Majeed
Babaji's Britain
Babaji's Britain is a portrait series I created with my grandfather, Ghulam Abbas or Babaji, as I call him. He migrated from Pakistan to Britain in 1962, planning only a short stay. Over sixty years later, his life is rooted in East London. Now 85, Babaji carries both tradition and change shaped by faith, cricket, language, and memory. Through staged portraits, we explored how he’s held onto his roots while adapting to life here. Each image is quiet and intentional, filled with symbols that speak to the in-between visual dialogue between past and present. Babaji's Britain is our tribute to resilience, to everyday grace, and to the generations who helped shape this country. A reclaiming of space, of belonging, and of home.
