✨Dive into the archive✨ Last year marked 30 years since Göbekli Tepe, a 14,000-year-old stone temple that upended how we think about human history, central to our show Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran. Explore further: 🔗 javaadalipoor.co.uk/our-work…

✨Dive into the archive✨ In 2020, Javaad and young British Muslim men shared their experiences of being Muslim in the UK, including the story of King Offa’s coin, as told here. As anti-immigrant feeling rises, this feels more relevant than ever. Watch: ow.ly/HJbK50YefIk

It’s been a month since Elmet premiered in Bradford @bradford2025, and we’re still thinking about this moment from the post-show talk, where Javaad, @FJMozley, and @SyimaAslam talk about Javaad's theatrical choice to not have Daddy played by one single actor ✨

Listen to Ep.2 of @britishcouncil’s Our World, Connected 🌐 Javaad talks about the importance of making work that asks complex, often uncomfortable questions, with Brazil’s ambassador, Antonio Patriota. 🎧Listen: ow.ly/cSwZ50Xtniu #OurWorldConnectedPodcast @insightbritish
