Using the iconic model at The London Centre, this event will explore pathways to creating a new memorial commemorating the human stories of Partition.
August 2027 will mark 80 years since the Partition of India and creation of Pakistan and subsequently Bangladesh. Several decisions to the lead up to Partition were made in locations across London. This event contributes to our long term ambition of creating a memorial space that demonstrates connection to communities in London, within the public realm.
At this event, you will gain an understanding of the historical context of colonisation, the independence movement and the Legacy of Partition. Guest speakers will bring the story home to by tracing the Partition Trail on the model of London. A drop in 'model making' session will create an opportunity to explore and influence the form and urban context of the project.
We invite you to connect and discover voices from the past that echo through our present, as we strive to honour them in the future.
