About this Event
Zakia is a DJ, broadcaster and writer, hosting 'Dream Time' on BBC Radio 6 Music, and previously the flagship breakfast show on NTS Radio. Her acclaimed four-part BBC Radio 4 series 'My Albion' was an inspiration for her book.
Zakia is on a quest for another Britain. Traversing the length and breadth of our island from Somerset to Scotland, she's seeking out a different story - one that lies beyond divisive national myths and symbols. In Finding Albion, Zakia uncovers an alternative spirit of Britain that is vividly alive today. It is found in otherworldly folk songs, ancient legends, Celtic seasonal rites and mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape.
Zakia will be in conversation about her book, followed by a performance from Dawn Terry and some choice tunes from DJ Ghilli Girl. We will also have a specially curated pop-up bookshop hosted by Nottingham's Five Leaves Books.
