The original interviews were recorded on camera between February- March 2024 by Muslim girls aged 12-15. You can view the filmed interviews on each of the episode pages here, and in person at Nottingham Local Studies Library where they are archived for future generations to access.
See Me celebrates inspiring women of Muslim heritage in Nottingham. Their stories, their voices, have been captured by the younger generation to be treasured.
This project was part of Fifth Word’s ‘SEE ME’ living history project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, in partnership with Nottingham Libraries and supported by Nottingham Playhouse.
All episodes are available for free on major listening platforms. Some interviews contain sensitive subject matter including references to violence and racism.
This project has been supported by the National Lottery’s Heritage Fund.
From influencers and artists to teachers and even a firefighter, each episode will feature an interview between a young creative of Muslim heritage, and an inspirational Muslim woman from Nottingham.
This podcast is part of a living history project aimed at capturing the stories of Muslim women living in Nottingham today. You are invited to learn about how each of these remarkable women have overcome barriers in life to pursue their dreams and find their authentic purpose in life.The episodes are inspiring, honest and, at times, funny and infuriating as they explore what it feels like to be a Muslim woman today.

ABOUT
SEE ME
In partnership with Nottingham Libraries and supported by Nottingham Playhouse, SEE ME is an inspirational living history project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. In February 2024 we recruited Muslim girls aged 15-22 in Nottingham to train them in oral history skills, photography, filming and audio recording. Equipped with these skills they then met and interviewed inspirational women of Muslim heritage in Nottingham. They filmed and recorded the interviews, and took portrait photographs of the interview subjects.
The resulting interviews and photographs are part of a new podcast series launching in June, and an exciting new touring pop-up exhibition. This interactive exhibition features a portrait image of each interviewee along with an illustration depicting a moment from their story. The exhibition launched at Nottingham Central Libraries and toured to venues on the ‘Liberation Squares’ tour over April-June 2024, and will tour to other local libraries across Nottingham until the end of Sept 2024.
The recorded original interviews and accompanying material will also be stored in Nottingham City Libraries archive so that future generations can access them. The project will help share personal experiences of women of Muslim heritage who have contributed to Nottingham’s social heritage.
