We will be stepping into the archives of the Indian Workers Association (IWA) over 12 workshops.

From storytelling of the historical climate in which the organisation emerged, including anti-imperial and anticolonial activism, to the forming of antiracist organisations and alliances in the UK, which would lead to race activists Claudia Jones collaborating and Malcolm X visiting.

We dig into why the IWA gathered in homes, took to the streets and agitated in their workplaces. What did they do, and how did they do it? Materials will be collectively explored through conversations, written forms, audio-visuals and movement.

Throughout the sessions, as we travel through history, students will lead their learning journeys, asking questions, debating and interpreting to make their artwork for a final exhibition.
