When: Thursday, September 7, 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Where: Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives, London E1

Speaker: Dr Fatima Rajina and Tasnima Uddin

This conversation with Dr Fatima Rajina and Tasnima Uddin connects the historical themes of Syma Tariq's audio artwork Delay Lines with a focus on the narrative challenges, complexities and tactics involved in Bangladeshi/Bengali-led campaigning . 

The making and unmaking of narrative has been key to the anti-racist, social and housing justice battles won and lost around the East End over the last century. This informal conversation with Dr Fatima Rajina and Tasnima Uddin, founding members of the Bangladeshi/Bengali-led campaigning and solidarity group Nijjor Manush since 2017, connects the historical themes of Syma Tariq's audio artwork Delay lines with a focus on the narrative challenges, complexities and tactics involved in the group’s ongoing activism. They will speak particularly about grassroots organising within the Save Brick Lane campaign.
