Artist Mohammed Ali celebrated the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh at the Bloomsbury Festival, bringing life to the frontages of Holy Cross Church and the British Library. Film projections told the stories of early Bangladeshi migrants, capturing their struggles, hardships, and joys as they built new lives in a foreign land. The interviews highlighted the journeys of those who left Bangladesh amidst the political turmoil of the 1970s.
These interviews were projected onto the front of Holy Cross Church on Friday, October 15th, at 6:30 pm, and again onto the British Library at dusk on Sunday, October 17th.
