Worcester Mela has facilitated the formation of the first Bangladeshi women’s group in the city to help bring this project to life. It has created a valuable opportunity for women to share their stories and experiences.
These stories are being gathered from Bangladeshi women, not only living in Worcester but those living in Tower Hamlets, Leeds, Bradford, Middlesbrough and Salford who have a lived experience of this migration journey. Their stories are being gathered and transcribed onto sixteen, three meter high colourful painted textile panels, hand painted by a traditional folk artist based in Dhaka and hand stitched with light thread to highlight the journeys that they have taken. The panels are arranged within a purpose-built 3D structure with soundscape which the audience can walk through and around to immerse themselves in these stories.
Bridges of Light is presented by Severn Arts
