About Emotional Encounters: Indian Indenture

Join us for the chance to view elements of the Library’s collection relating to histories of Indian indenture, then take part in creative and participatory activities.
The Black and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN) has been running for over 20 years. It is home to the UK’s largest community of Black, African, Asian and Caribbean counsellors and psychotherapists who specialise in working psychologically, informed by an understanding of intersectionality.
This workshop led by three members of BAATN of Indian indentured heritage, seeks to engage with this aspect of history through a psychological and exploratory lens. The workshop will consider how the material resonates on a personal and collective emotional level.
Expression of interest – This workshop is aimed at individuals who have an interest in Indian indenture labour histories. When registering for the event, in no more than 300 words please can you explain why you are interested in taking part in this workshop.
