To change the world, change your illusions | Minna Salami...
Description: This talk was given at a Brixton, London TEDx event in October 2014 and produced independently of the TED Conferences.
In this talk, Minna Salami shares images of women from around the world, highlighting how out of touch the stereotypes are from reality. She tells powerful stories of her diverse grandmothers whose lives have shaped hers and of how images of African women in the West do not represent the experiences of her own friends and family. And how, very simply, African women like the same things as women everywhere.
Minna Salami writes, speaks and advocates on a broad range of Africa, Diaspora and feminist issues. She writes the award-winning African feminist blog, MsAfropolitan, and is a member of the Duke University’s Global Educator Network as well as the Guardian’s (UK) Africa Network.

Like thousands of other British children of immigrants, he knows very little about the land where his parents came from. As his mother Shanti says - he's a coconut. Sri Lankan on the outside but British on the inside.
Now Shanti wants her son to connect to his roots - so she has decided to change all that by sending Romesh on an odyssey around the motherland. Not that he's that happy about it.
Romesh is sent to receive a traditional blessing in Kegalle, only to discover after having his head rubbed with a chicken that it might actually have more in common with black magic than the traditional Hindu ceremony he thinks his mother had in mind. He goes to meet his Uncle Thiru, who may or may not be his uncle, and may or may not be related to him at all... in fact what Thiru seems more interested in is getting Romesh to invest in the elephant poo paper factory than in getting to know him. After attempting a potentially character building stint of stilt fishing, Romesh sets up an activity of his own.... Going rogue in the capital Colombo to perform with local rap act MBZ.

Mapping British South Asian theatre
Description: The University of Exeter's British South Asian Theatre Project charted and disseminated the cultural history and heritage of British Asian theatrical practitioners, enriching appreciation and preserving the heritage of British Asian theatre, partly by enabling theatre professionals to possess their own history more securely.
Research findings were presented as part of industry debates, informing theatrical development. This led to a further research project, The Southall Story, which is documenting the cultural history of the art forms and political movements among the British Asian communities in Southall.
The project also included a touring exhibition and performances, emerging from The Southall Story, in India and Thailand.
These projects are preserving and disseminating this public history through a public digital archive, and series of community and arts events in the UK and internationally.
