A Journey Through Tottenham

Screening of film 'A Journey Through Tottenham' by Ayiah Jahan followed by a discussion about identity in diverse communities.

A Journey Through Tottenham explores how people describe themselves and their attitudes toward living in a multicultural community. The seven participants are connected along a chain of difference, with each person being asked to nominate someone who is different to themselves to take part.

After the screening of the film there will be a discussion about identity, which will explore concepts such as whether being in a multicultural community makes you more aware of your own cultural identity and how people from other countries who are now permanent residents view themselves.

Ayiah uses digital filmmaking as a means of connecting communities – in fact, the original title of the film was Nodes of Connection.

The event is free and is supported by Haringey Libraries.
