In Conversation with Shabina Aslam

Learn about the artistic process for curating work like Bussing Out from Shabina Aslam, the creative architect behind the installation.

Informed by Shabina’s PhD research, the powerful exhibition reveals untold stories of migration, racism and resistance hidden within British history.

Bussing Out reveals the little-known government policy active between 1965 – 1976 that promoted the ‘dispersal’ of inner-city ‘immigrant’ children out to predominantly white schools in rural areas.

Bussing Out was created to invite audiences to learn about this hidden piece of history that shaped the identity of many global majority children who arrived in Bradford, and many other cities across the UK, during the 1960s and 1970s.

The masterclass is designed for local creatives and those interested in British social politics to hear from Shabina about her career pathway, her research, the shaping of Bussing Out and the challenges and learnings she encountered along the way.

Hear how personal bravery, artistic freedom and British social politics has informed and shaped Shabina’s artistic work and career.

If you’re interested in storytelling and oral histories and the process of transforming stories into creative work, then this is the masterclass for you.

Send us a question for Shabina in advance of the masterclass to hello@revolutonarts.com by Monday 27 April.
