She Was There (WIP)

Tasnim Siddiqa Amin presents

A playful exploration of the lives and hidden histories of women who resisted racism in 1970s and 80s London.

“When our mothers first arrived in the East End the world was a very different place and London was a very different city.”

From Enoch Powell’s Rivers of Blood to Keir Starmer’s Island of Strangers, She Was There is a playful exploration of the lives and hidden histories of women who resisted racism in 1970s and 80s London.

The one-woman performance by Tasnim Siddiqa Amin is informed by in-depth research by Dr Julia Giese and will be followed by an Adda, an informal space for discussion with food and hot drinks provided.
