The rise of the far right in Britain has intensified fear, division, and questions about who belongs in our society. From online spaces to our streets, our communities are facing growing hostility and intimidation.
These extremists often claim to speak in the name of "ordinary people.” Yet this invocation of unity conceals as much as it reveals. Who gets counted in this imagined collective?
Who is included in the idea of “ordinary” and who is left out?
In Britain, identity is often conditional. One may hold a passport, contribute to society, and participate fully in national life, yet still face questions of legitimacy — “Where are you really from?”
What does it mean to be Black and British? Can identity be self-defined when it is constantly scrutinised by others?
This reflective workshop offers a space to explore what it means to navigate dual identities, confront exclusion, and examine how historical legacies continue to shape Black British experiences.
