Rooh: Silent Strength in Dance

In a world that often measures heroism through dramatic acts and monumental moments, Rooh: Within Her presents a strikingly different narrative — one that celebrates quiet resilience, enduring strength, and the understated courage found in the everyday lives of women. Set to take place on Friday, 20 June at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham, this solo dance performance by acclaimed Kathak artist and choreographer Urja Desai Thakore promises an evocative and thought-provoking exploration of womanhood across time. Rooted in the classical Indian dance tradition yet deeply contemporary in its vision, the show captures the spirit of women who have shaped history in ways both visible and invisible.

The performance is an immersive journey through stories that span over two millennia, drawing inspiration from mythology, oral traditions, personal histories, and lived experiences. Rather than focusing on famous names or well-known figures, Thakore deliberately turns her attention to unsung heroines — women whose courage lies in persistence, nurturing, survival, and the ability to carry on in the face of adversity. From ancient civilisations to modern-day realities, Rooh: Within Her presents a dance tapestry woven with emotion, grace, and narrative depth.

A Literary Celebration of Culture and Identity: Manzu Islam to Launch ‘Godzilla and the Songbird’ at Saudha International Literature Festival

Manzu Islam Launches 'Godzilla and the Songbird'

  • On Saturday, 14 June, literary lovers, cultural critics and curious minds alike will gather at the historic Kobi Nazrul Centre in London’s East End for a standout event in the UK’s literary calendar—the launch of Godzilla and the Songbird, the latest book by acclaimed British Asian author Manzu Islam. Hosted as part of the prestigious Saudha International Literature Festival, the event promises to be an evening of dialogue, creativity and cultural resonance. Situated at 30 Hanbury Street, the Kobi Nazrul Centre offers the perfect setting for this multicultural celebration, named after the revered Bengali poet and playing a key role in London's intercultural arts scene.
  • Godzilla and the Songbird marks a compelling new addition to Manzu Islam’s growing body of work. Known for weaving deeply personal narratives with broader themes of diaspora, migration and dual identity, Islam is celebrated for his poetic voice and insightful prose. His latest novel is expected to push these boundaries further, exploring contradictions within modern life—between power and vulnerability, tradition and change, survival and artistic expression. Though full plot details are under wraps, the intriguing title itself suggests a rich metaphorical journey, likely combining mythological symbols with emotional depth.
  • This book launch isn’t merely a reading—it’s an occasion that aligns with Saudha Society for Poetry and Indian Music’s mission to break genre boundaries and nurture cross-cultural understanding. The Saudha International Literature Festival has earned a strong reputation for spotlighting global voices while fostering home-grown British talent, particularly those from South Asian backgrounds. By hosting Manzu Islam’s book release, the festival underlines its commitment to literary excellence that resonates across communities and continents.
  • Attendees can expect more than just a book signing. The event will likely feature readings, reflections from the author, and open discussions that invite the audience to engage with themes central to the novel and to the contemporary British Asian experience. Whether you're an academic interested in postcolonial narratives, a student of South Asian literature, or a local reader seeking meaningful cultural experiences, this event offers something profoundly enriching.
  • Manzu Islam has long been a voice of insight and integrity in British literature. His work has appeared in a variety of anthologies, and he has contributed essays, stories, and critiques that have shaped how British South Asian identity is represented in fiction today. This book launch is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the author in an intimate and culturally vibrant setting.
  • Admission to the event is free, though advance booking is highly recommended to secure a place. Tickets and further event information can be found at Eventbrite. As London continues to thrive as a multicultural hub for the arts, events like this remind us of the power of storytelling in shaping collective identity and community connection.
  • Don’t miss this literary highlight of the season—join Manzu Islam, Saudha Society, and a host of literature enthusiasts at the Kobi Nazrul Centre on Saturday, 14 June for an unforgettable evening that celebrates words, wisdom and the woven fabric of modern British life.
