ABED aka Asian British Entercation Division is an organisation whose mission is to increase the representation and presence of Asians and minorities in everyday society via the arts and media industries. in doing this, we look to decrease ignorance, and increase awareness by "Entercating" the masses!
ABED is about Asian Britain for the culturally and politically savvy.The website and our forthcoming magazine features, Photography, and entertaining articles so well rounded our readership includes many nationalities and religions.
ABED is an organisation that has been set up to increase awareness, decrease ignorance and dispel the misconceptions that surround Asian Asian Britons by the process of entercation in the arts and media industries. Entercation is a combination of entertainment + education. Our primary aim is to entertain the world through various media. At the same time we aim to educate people on the sly!
At ABED we focus on breaking barriers that restrict Asian British representation in the arts and media industries e.g. film, theatre, news, etc.
Its important to understand we don't focus on Desi related issues, we focus on Asian British issues, issues that people from all ethnicities can essentially relate with.

My Interests

The media, performing arts, sports, current affairs, matters relevant to the urban community and the oppressed of the world.
Playing hard just chilling with our friends, working hard to create culture and history for future generations.

I'd like to meet:

In the summer of 2007 ABED will be launching INQ magazine. The voice of British Asians. The magazine will be made up of articles, pieces and reviews submitted online by our readers, the best ones get published and revamped for exposure to over 20,000 readers nationwide!

INQ is tied very closely with the ABED website, and if you would like to get involved and learn more www.abed.org.uk is the first port of call! It acts as our international meeting point where we all discuss our ideas and look to make a positive impact on the world!
Built around a clarity of image, word and social awareness, INQ takes form; from the artists, thinkers and creators who are shaping a new multiethnic generation on this Island ;
ABED is not just a forum website that asks people to post messages and does nothing else! The website acts as a first port of call for all our contributors, we are based in all over the UK, so the website is the hub of creativity and all discussions, posts, articles, and photos can make their way into our printed publication.

We create dialogue, which is then transferred into articles. The best way to get familiar with ABED is to contribute
to the forums regularly. This will keep you updated on the developments at ABED.

In our regular newsletters, we ask people to contribute on feature articles we are putting together, and on a more regular basis we would like people to cover the news in their area and to post their opinions on the events to the rest of the ABED community. Our admin team will turn the best of these posts into articles, which then get published in print for our magazine.

The authors of the best articles then get a percentage of the magazines sold, which could mean earning up to £250 for an article!!. We also want your short stories, poems, your essays, love songs and your freestyle raps, your ideas for filming a documentary or making a short film, absolutely anything really!

We have been both honoured and proud to serve the Asian British Community, and we thank our readers, our wonderful staff, and everyone that has supported ABED through these past few months. To better serve our readers, we appreciate all feedback on articles, as well as any suggestions on the issues you would like to see covered in the ABED Magazine.
