Jahran Allen-Thompson MBE on Why This Exhibition Matters

In this clip from Red Light Busking Presents Kanda Vol.1: Bedroom Shut, Music Up, Jahran Allen-Thompson MBE reflects on being part of the exhibition and seeing the project come together. As Chief Officer of Disability Equality and one of the people interviewed for the oral history project, Jahran speaks about the importance of people having the opportunity to tell their own stories. He also reflects on the nostalgia of the exhibition space — from the early 2000s bedroom setup to the PlayStation 1 and memories of childhood. This clip captures what Bedroom Shut, Music Up is really about: oral history, community memory, nostalgia, identity and making sure stories are not lost.
