Join artist Meera Shakti Osborne in an interactive workshop to map our local South Asian resistance histories, in Haringey and beyond.
In the workshop we'll discover:
- archival photos of the Asian youth movement
- the space they had by Ducketts Common and in Bruce Grove
- photos from Asia Centre in the shopping centre
Meera will then guide us to how we can make some collages/zines, thinking about this history and how it relates to now.
We welcome intergenerational conversations and would love to encourage all ages and voices to join us – children (under your own care), young people and elders alike. The event is drop-in and is free, though please RSVP so we can accommodate numbers!

Meera Shakti Osborne is an artist and youth worker from London. Working across multiple disciplines with a focus on collective healing through creative self-expression. Their practice engages with accessibility and confidence-building with marginalised people in both formal education settings and casual encounters.
Meera is interested in the use of art as a tool to come together, creating small worlds of protection and openness. They believe art's use lies in recording feelings and the in-between stuff that often gets left out of history-making. They work in zines, oil paint, audio, digital media, textile, breathing, talking, dancing, glitching and love.
Shakti Osborne has worked with Cubitt Artists, Drawing Room, Focal Point Gallery, The GAP Arts Project, Glasgow Zine Library, iniva, New Town Cultures, Newbridge Project, Nottingham Contemporary, Peckham Platform, Peer Gallery, Reprezent FM and is a visiting lecturer at UAL.
