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.

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

We aim to utilise the medium of drama to bring to life the story of how Bengal lost its independence to the British in 1757, more than a quarter millennia ago, including pre-Battle of Plassey in 1757 dynamics, the conquest and what unfolded during the next quarter-century.

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