Movema are excited to be producing this day festival on Saturday 9th May, in partnership with Diverse Artists Network and RWA Gallery (Royal West of England Academy) in Bristol.
Dance, like music, is a universal language. It builds communities, transcends time, and holds history in our feet. Dances of Diaspora! is a project conceived by Diverse Artists Network to honour and showcase the many dance traditions we are proud to host in our city. Living archives of migration, resilience and cultural legacy.
Bringing together a cross-section of diasporic cultures, Diverse Artists Network is collaborating with RWA to celebrate the Dance Out exhibition. As the exhibition’s launch event, we will host an exciting afternoon of dynamic dance performances and participatory workshops, developed in partnership wit Movema.
Expect Colombian and Peruvian folk dance, Tibetan traditional dance, Jamaican junglist movement, Turkish finger cymbals, and the newly created ‘Unity Dance’ expressing solidarity across cultures. Come and join the joy, power and connection of social and community dance!
Location
The RWA gallery is located near the Bristol Triangle, where Queen’s Road meets Whiteladies Road, opposite the University of Bristol Victoria Rooms.
