Bia is a DJ based in London who enjoys creative cross-genre mixing and bringing together diverse audiences through music. She draws inspiration from old-school Bollywood, qawwali and Arab hits, with R&B, Hip-hop and classic party anthems. She is also a co-founder of Bint Bash- a girls only offline party movement.

This event is part of Aaram Hours, an evening of free performances, workshops and conversation, created by a collective of Youth Producers who came to the V&A with a vision for connection, community and soulful inspiration. 

Curated in response to the South Asia Collection and Bharti Kher's sculptural works, Aaram Hours is open to all young people (16-26), regardless of heritage. It offers a safe and welcoming environment to convene, connect, and perhaps challenge connections to South Asia in a fun, collaborative and contemporary manner.
