Voices that Matter

I feel privileged to have been working with some amazing women over the past few years as a ‘participant observer’ on the project Voices that Matter for the Whitechapel Gallery. The Gallery has partnered with local organisations NUMBI and City Gateway focusing on women’s voice, agency and social confidence.

For the most recent project with City Gateway, the women participants have been working with artist and filmmaker Hussina Raja to make a film Voices that Matter: Bidēśi Mahilā (Travelling Women). This is an experimental short film exploring what it means to ‘take up space’ in public spaces, whilst building a life in London, and longing for connection to Bangladesh.
