Good morning all,

AROUND AND ABOUT
After these last challenging months, Cultural events are happening in Camden once again and the Camden Together Season aims to celebrate our rich, diverse and vibrant cultural landscape through music, dance and public art.

“Here and There; Stories of British Bangladeshis in Camden” is an exhibition which was commissioned by the Bengali Workers’ Association (BWA) and curated by Faridha Karim with funding support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It was first exhibited in 2011 at the Surma Centre, Robert Street, the home of the BWA and later at Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre where it has been subsequently deposited. We are pleased, with the BWA’s agreement, to now present the exhibition on our web page here:
