Embrace: A Collective Voice – Finding Roots in the Diaspora

A creative workshop uniting the LatinX and Arab/African diasporas, using art to reflect on shared experiences of ‘Otherness,’ identity, and the power of community. Explore the roots of solidarity through conversations on race, class, and migration.

Join Noria Collective for this transformative 2-hour art-making workshop, where participants will delve into themes such as colorism, language discrimination, and the historical roots of solidarity shaped by colonisation and religion.

This interactive workshop invites participants to engage in meaningful conversations on identity, representation, and belonging. Together, we will amplify stories of common struggles and explore how we navigate systems of inequality. The workshop is a space for creative solidarity, using art to uncover the interconnectedness of our collective experiences.

Noria Collective is a socially-engaged group of creatives dedicated to fostering inclusion and promoting representation for people from the global majority, especially Latin American and North African Arab communities. Co-founded by Sandy Abdelrahman and JC Candanedo, Noria seeks to uplift voices from the diaspora through consultancy, cultural production, and programme delivery.

Come together in this powerful space of reflection and creative expression, as we build a collective voice for change.
