Recollective Footprint: A Critical Exploration on the Spatial Conceptions Formed by the South-Asian Diaspora Part 2 Dissertation 2022 Sharmin Taslima Rahman Birmingham City University | UK Re-Collective Footprint seeks to critically interrogate concepts surrounding space, identity, displacement, and memory in relation to the British-Bangladeshi diaspora - grounded in the area of Sparkhill, Birmingham. The thesis submission, inspired by my own personal conflicts with identity and the right to the city, begins to initiate dialogue on the effects of migration within an urban and domestic scale. The paper becomes an explorative method of how displacement and its urban/domestic effects begin to catalyse ‘spatial conception’, a term I have coined, meaning the conscious or sub-conscious act of perceiving, creating, and manipulating a space as it is met by the diasporic agency.The paper begins with the quote “so, here you are, too foreign for home, too foreign for here, never enough for both”, mirroring all diasporas who cross turbulent seas in hopes for a better life. Therefore, it is significant to me that contributions from minority ethnic groups and in the context of this essay - Bangladeshis, are identifiable markers to the British National story, given the polarising, political nature of contemporary Britain today. The paper provides an insight into the wider effects that ordinary people have within architecture and begins to highlight the significance of community-led design ethics within the field.
