Most Brits think @BritishMuseum should have a permanent transatlantic #slavetrade exhibit, reports @TheGuardian. Instead, visit What Have We Here?, show in which British-#Guyanese artist @HewLocke explores the museum’s displays of British imperial power. Eventxslondon.org

@SanazToossi's play, 'Wish You Were Here' @GateTheatre is set in living rooms in #Karaj (yes, it’s taken an Iranian-American to re-work the best-forgotten days of English drawing room dramas) in 1978-91, during much of which the #Iran-Iraq war is raging. copper-lavender-97yn.squarespace.com/config/pages/5…

A book, #Slave, changed @carolinecleggs life 20 years ago. She’s still hoping the play of the book of the story of the girl captured by raiding Mujahidin in the #Nuba mountains of #Sudan will open more eyes, @RiversideLondon eventslondon.org/recommended/th…

'Rewriting the Rules: Pioneering Indian Cinema After 1970' @Barbican - "A season of films from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, when filmmakers rewrote the traditional rules of what constituted #Indian #cinema" Eventslondon.org

'What Have We Here?' @britishmuseum does what #museums should be doing: taking a fresh look at displays and showing them in new ways. The BM asked #Guyanese-British artist @HewLocke to inspect its vast collection & the result is a blast of fresh air. eventslondon.org/reviews/its-as…

'Milisuthando' shows a side of #Apartheid #SouthAfrica rarely seen on screen, with criticism of @NelsonMandela and nostalgia for #Transkei, a 'Bantustan' created so #Whites could pretend their #racist policy was “separate but equal” rather than repressive eventslondon.org/reviews/the-sh…

A film essay investigating the murder of #Congo’s independence leader, #PatriceLumumba, sounds arcane, but it's brilliant, especially if you like an insightful look at Western #imperialism in #Africa - and you like #jazz. It's at @bfilff eventslondon.org/reviews/congo-…

#Bangladesh Uprising: what next for workers?, @TansyHoskins @SyedZebal & Bangladesh worker representatives, 6-8pm today, online. Eventslondon.org

It’s a bold man who takes on #Israel-#Palestine as a subject for a one-man show. Bolder still for a Brit who has #Egyptian heritage (and a #TahrirSquare record) & an actor best known for his roles as lead hijacker in United 93 and #DodiFayed in #thecrown eventslondon.org/reviews/actor-…
