Zaynab Mohammed
A journey of sound, sight and story about how one woman loses her innocence at a young age due to cultural inequity, whilst navigating a terrain foreign to her ancestors. Being displaced, moved from land, uprooted, is intergenerational. How does a young woman who’s been colonised for centuries free herself? This is her story.

Befriending Grief Series
This is a six-part series reclaiming the art of turning towards loss in service of healing. In community, we can transmute the powerful energies of sorrow into good grief.

folks who are grieving in several ways:
National Theatre Live: Present Laughter
