OUR FOUNDERS
Visionaries Who Support US
Made in England is an original art collection and immersive story of South Asian immigrants in Britain from the early settlers of the 1960s to the modern generation shaping today’s multicultural identity.
Our Vision
To use art as a living form of cultural memory.
Made in England celebrates how ordinary people became part of an extraordinary story, the building of a new, shared British identity. Through innovative use of AI in creating art, film, and storytelling, we preserve the unseen moments and unheard voices that helped build modern Britain. Each piece captures the courage, hope, and contribution of those who came to create new lives and, in doing so, transformed the nation’s cultural landscape.
This project stands as a cultural bridge between generations.
OUR MEANING
Why now ? - Immigration is one of the most powerful human stories.
In today’s politically charged climate, immigration is too often seen through the lens of conflict and policy rather than humanity. Made in England addresses this by showing the real lives behind the headlines, people who worked, built families, and contributed to Britain’s identity. Now, more than ever, it is vital to tell these stories with honesty and empathy.
WE SEE THEIR LIVES, WE RESPECT THEIR HEART
Preserving History with Technology: Art, Memory, Family, Innovation, Connection, Humanity.
Artist Jai Sol has spent 30 years recording the untold stories of British-Asian life moments once seen only by a few. Today, through digital art and AI, those memories are reimagined and preserved, transforming personal history into a living collective experience.
By merging creativity with technology, Made in England allows past generations to speak again giving new life to the emotions, choices, and courage that shaped who we are.
OUR CREATIVITY
Legendary Collection :
We are creating 300 artworks over 3 years to share with the world.
To achieve this, we will collaborate with 10 Founding Members of the project — eight will help us showcase the evolving collection through regional exhibitions, and two will help us deliver a national immersive experience in London at a prestigious gallery.
FOUNDERS
Each Founding Member contributes directly to the creation and exhibition of the collection, enabling the stories, art, and technology behind the project to reach the public. They are recognised as cultural patrons whose investment not only funds the art but also becomes part of the story itself.

Our Partners
Founders Role :
Support the creation
of art & national campaign.
They sponsor the creation of art — from first generation, second, to third, a contribution to the production and creation of our 300-art collection.
As a gift Jai Sol creates a bespoke artwork — a digitally crafted montage and visual story of their journey, legacy, and story, based on a founder, a business, or culture generated.
We showcase that collection and their bespoke art at an exhibition hosted in a gallery setting in their city.
Over two years of research, we have identified a community of exceptional individuals whose work, creativity, and leadership have helped shape modern British culture - We are inviting these established people as Founding Members.
