Bradford Embraces Its Identity as UK City of Culture
As Bradford initiates its term as the UK City of Culture, locals are working to reshape the city’s negative image and promote its rich diversity and cultural heritage. With productions like Nick Ahad’s radio play ‘Bilal and Ted’s Bradfordian Adventure,’ residents are engaging in conversations about pride in their home. The city’s culinary scene, particularly the famous giant naan at Akbar’s restaurant, symbolizes Bradford’s vibrant community spirit. Many hope that the City of Culture designation will catalyze a shift toward a more positive perception of Bradford, both locally and nationally.
