A new project by Brick Lane Circle

For more than two decades, Brick Lane Circle has been working to help transform the intellectual landscape of the Bangladeshi community in the UK so that we can confidently and critically engage with everything to do with the mainstream. We hope you will continue to take an active interest in our work.
