"Echoes of Resistance" encapsulates the enduring spirit of defiance and resilience in the face of oppression. The title reflects the idea that resistance is not merely a fleeting moment but a powerful echo that resonates through time and space. The echoes serve as reminders of the past, urging us to confront contemporary challenges with the same courage and determination. My research aims to shape our understanding of resistance, examining how these echoes continue to influence social movements and foster solidarity in the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality amongst a group of older Black people living in London.

  • Project participants in a room posing for a photo shoot, wearing glamorous gowns in various bright colours. A camerawoman stands before them holding a camera.
  • Four adults sit on yellow chairs at a table before an image of many students beamed onto the wall. The live and video participants are looking at each other.
  • A room with tables and chairs in a U shape. Many adults sit with drinks and snacks before them, listening attentively to a man who is reading from papers at the front of the room.
  • Six women sit around a table with pens in their hands. They are talking. Three large sheets of paper covered in text lie on the table between them.
  • A man dressed in black with back cap reaches both arms to one side. His is in a dark theatrical space with dim lighting, tables spread around the room and ranked empty seating in the background.
