In a post-Brexit world, how should we treat the legacy of the British Empire?

We partnered with race equality organisation Runnymede Trust for the final event in our first season, curating a debate that takes an uncensored look at Britain’s colonial past and the narratives that are used to construct legacies while eliminating certain histories.

Our panellists included rapper and activist Lowkey, journalist and author David Goodhart, Professor of Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies Dr Gurminder Bhambra and journalist and commentator Remi Adekoya. It was chaired by writer and activist Zahra Dalilah.
