Collective Action Against Gentrification
Join us as we celebrate 50 years of Bangladesh with an exciting guest panel. With Dr Fatima Rajina and author Shahnaz Ahsan, we’ll be digging deep into the role art has played in the formation of Bangladesh, the legacy and impact of the 1971 Independence War on women, as well as exploring how this history impacts current topics such as the Save Brick Lane movement, and the rising persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh.
This event is held in partnership with An Indian Summer Festival.
Organised and hosted by ForwardCulture
Date : Sunday 5th December
Time: 11:00 – 12:30 GMT
Place: Zoom – register for link
Join Nijjor Manush and Save Latin Village in conversation around their respective collective action campaigns against gentrification.
It’s a chance to find out how the community can come together around issues that affect them in order to make change.
They will discuss:
- Methods they use within their organisations to engage the community in issues that affect them
- How to challenge private developers and the council.
- They will also discuss challenges they face within their organising.
This session is for 15 – 25 year olds.

The council are attempting to deter us and break down the movement we have built by continuously deferring the development committee meeting!
We must show that we will not be deterred and we will not get complacent. This is a long battle ahead, one we are winning.
We will still be meeting this Sunday to galvanise, strengthen our support and show the council and the Truman Brewery that We will not give up and fight this till this proposal is REJECTED ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏻
