Taking Up Space: Women and Protest in the Indian Diaspora Exhibition
Megan Drabble & Platform for Indian Democracy
22-24 November 2024
OPEN Southall, Parkside Yards, 1 Seva Drive, Southall, UB1 1GH
Platform for Indian Democracy invites you to Taking up Space: Women and Protest in the Indian Diaspora, curated by Megan Drabble.
Join us at OPEN Southall Arts Centre for an immersive exhibition, exploring the written and oral history of dissent in the British Indian Diaspora.
Hear directly from the women of Independent India, who share their personal stories of protest. Transport yourself to Deli, for the 101 day protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Dance and chant to songs integral to women’s dissent in the diaspora. Step into a history of protest, dissent and change.
As you experience these important histories, we hope that you will be inspired to continue their legacy, take up space in your communities, and question injustices you see. You will be encouraged to contribute your thoughts and ideas to the exhibition, and start conversations with those around you.
Letters for Palestinian Childhoods
14 Nov - 06 Dec
Rix Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Rd, London E1 6LA
'Letters for Palestinian Childhoods' is an exhibit of letters, poems, and artwork dedicated to the young people of Palestine, created around the world by both adults and children. Created to counter the dehumanising narratives about Palestinians, this exhibition shows solidarity by attending to their stories, experiences and dreams set against the backdrop of the Western-backed Israeli war which is shaping their lives day by day. This exhibition was created by Rachel Rosen and Feryal Awan to draw attention to the full lives lived by young people in Palestine. The letters can also be listened to in English and Arabic.
We will be holding a free launch event on Thursday, the 14th. Join us for a drink at the RichMix bar to mark the exhibition's opening.

Stratford East's 140th Anniversary - micro films
If you've been to Stratford East and either experienced one of our shows, whether it's our legendary pantomime or an exciting new piece of work, or if you are a member of one of our membership Schemes or have come to one of our community events - we would love to hear from you. We are creating a series of short celebratory films as part of our 140th birthday and want to hear from as many of you as possible about what you enjoyed here at Stratford East. We can either send you short and simple instructions to film yourself or you can come into the theatre where we will film you. Please email ejerrold@stratfordeast.com if you'd like to be involved.
