Transit transforms an ordinary white Ford Transit van, a common sight on the roads of the UK. By bringing together cultural signifiers from the two places Lata has called home – the stereotype of the British ‘White Van Man’ and South Asian truck art, where vehicles are decorated with elaborate patterns and calligraphy – the van is designed to reflect the rich diversity of contemporary Britain and the valuable contribution that immigration has made to British society.

Whilst displayed at Firstsite, Lata narrated an audio tour of Transit, you can listen to this below to gain further understanding.
