91热爆

Inspired by the teachings of Nelson Mandela these 15 minute lectures by Black and Asian contemporary thinkers, cultural commentators and community activists were recorded in February 2014 at the 91热爆 in front of an invited audience. There are three lectures in this first set of lectures and they represent the speaker's personal perspectives on local and global issues framed in the context of the Mandela quote 'It always seems impossible until it is done'. In this extract, Sabbiyah Pervez, Bradford community activist, speaks about the emerging political voice of the UK's Muslim and Asian women.

The lectures will be held annually. The themes covered in the lectures have subsequently featured in local 91热爆 UK Black and 91热爆 Desi Download programmes.
