In Collaboration With

The Migration Menu is a podcast series exploring how food, identity and memory shape the South Asian diaspora’s experience in West London. Created by anthropologists Dr Luke Heslop and Professor James Staples (Brunel University), the show delves into stories of nostalgia, authenticity and entrepreneurship across communities from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, the Maldives, and Afghanistan.

Through conversations with restaurateurs and cultural voices, the podcast uses food as a lens into broader questions of belonging and adaptation. Their second season launches with this live recording at Pitzhanger.
