Lanre Bakare, Jen Calleja & Ash Sarkar: Changing the Culture

Three vibrant voices shaking up assumptions on class, race, and culture join us for a perspective-shifting discussion. In We Were There, Guardian arts correspondent Lanre Bakare examines how Black culture and resistance from the 1970s on helped shape modern Britain. Jen Calleja’s translation memoir, Fair, breaks down issues of class and background in the publishing industry. And in Minority Rule, writer and activist Ash Sarkar assesses how the culture wars have been weaponised to divide and rule.
