jamii 2: belonging

Exploring the meaning of home through poetry and prose

This workshop invites us to explore the intricate connections between mental health, identity, and belonging. We’ll navigate the inner landscapes of our minds, using poetry as a tool to express emotions and forge connections.

In 3 hours, participants will navigate what home means to them, how places and people in their current environment inform their sense of belonging, and the role of geography and culture on their mental health.

This workshop is curated by Jukebox Collective and delivered as a part of our partnership with SSAP for JAMII 2,  a series of creative workshops addressing health and wellbeing for African communities in Cardiff

Emmanuel Sugo‘s work sits between his poetry and sonic practice, a prism by which he breaks down the barrier between film and performance, making them existential grounds by which he questions emotional legacy and liberation.

Recent works include the award-winning film Speak, which was featured as part of the migration museum Heart of a Nation exhibition, Lens to the Runway a digital installation at London’s leading outdoors space Outernet London, and Samsung King’s Cross.

Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel (SSAP) was formed in 2009 when a number of African diaspora groups in Wales met to consider how they might collectively advance their common interest in local issues affecting African communities in Wales as well as those in Africa. They apply lived experience, skills, capacity and knowledge found within Welsh African diaspora communities.

Jamii 2 is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund
