Knowing One Another Through Philosophy

A project for 2021/2022

This project aims to utilise philosophy and its various sub-divisions – such as logic, metaphysics, ethics, political thought and epistemology – to critically explore community cohesion issues in East London, including Covid-19 related prejudices that have been directed, by some, against the Chinese community, for example. The focus is on race, ethnicity, faith and culture.

Tears in Bengal and the Smiling Nabobs

A play for December 2021

The year, 2021, is very significant for Bangladeshis everywhere. It is the fiftieth year of the creation of Bangladesh.

Most people in Bangladesh and Bangladeshi Diaspora around the world, for anniversary remembrance, will focus on events and activities that unfolded during the nine-month war of liberation in 1971.

Any comments and feedback on the proposed project will be appreciated. Please email your response to bricklanecircle@yahoo.co.uk. Click
