Fatima Manji

“I muse to myself on the way in which tourism is divorced from reality – how we serve visitors an idealised version of history that is centred on inanimate objects rather than tackling the complex question raised by the forces that animate progress. We glory in our architecture without asking the price of its beauty; we salute the static soldier without a thought of where he has marched and what for. I cross the road, moving away from these delicate questions”
