TRAID presents a TRAID Late Fundraiser to support garment workers in Bangladesh. Visit TRAID Dalston for an evening of late-night secondhand shopping, in-store activities and music.

Launching in April, the Rana Plaza Solidarity Collective will host a photo exhibition by the celebrated Bangladeshi photographer and activist, Taslima Akhter and members of Bangladesh Garment Workers Solidarity (BGWS). Taslima was on the ground hours after the Rana Plaza collapsed and the photos highlight not only the devastation of the collapse, but ten years of resistance and struggle for justice by family members and garment workers involved in the Bangladesh Garment Workers Solidarity organisation.

The exhibition will also will also feature a video installation by Rainbow Collective of garment worker protests over 10 years in Bangladesh, together with a collection of large format portraits of Rana Plaza survivors, used as banners in street demonstrations across Europe following the collapse.
