Jassa Ahluwalia on being both not half, how language is the vessel, and authoring your own sense of belonging
The one where we are both not half Emma and Nicole speak to British-Punjabi actor, writer and filmmaker, Jassa Ahluwalia. He created the hashtag and online movement, #BothNotHalf, which he uses to explore mixed identity and his own British-Indian heritage, and is currently developing into a book. We spoke about the casting process and how that has changed for mixed actors and specific roles for mixed people, drawing on your heritage as a performer, how language shapes identity, and the history of national identity.
