Trapped in Zone One presents Club Zone One - Summer Project 2022

Creative Workshops - ‘Freedom and Identity’ Project, supported by Tower Hamlets Council and London Youth’s City Leaders Programme

Starting on 16 May till 20 August 2022 we’ll be hosting weekly creative workshops for young people at various venues across Tower Hamlets.

This year marks 70 years since the Bengali language movement begun and these creative workshops will focus on how language and identity is important from the view of young people and creatives.  

The activity sessions are FREE and open to young people aged 10-16, with all materials provided. We’ll explore the themes of freedom of speech and cultural self-identity, guided by Bangladeshi heritage artists Husna Parvin and Nodee Niranjana.

The summer project will culminate with an exhibition at the Kobi Nazrul Centre, just off Brick Lane.

Andy Coleborn, Tower Hamlets Community Housing Development Manager said: “Trapped in Zone One has been delivering some fantastic youth activities for young people in Tower Hamlets over the last 18 months. We’re delighted to be able to host and support this new girl’s project from one of our centres. We hope following a successful pilot, the project goes from strength-to-strength”
