Jamii: belonging part 2

multidisciplinary

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.

Following on the themes from our first Belonging workshop, inviting deeper reflection on what it means to belong. Through guided creative writing exercises and open discussion, participants will explore how geography, culture, and personal environment shape their emotional and physical sense of connection.
Running for 2 hours and 30 minutes, the session offers space to engage with the mechanics of writing as a tool for self-expression and understanding.

This workshop is curated by Jukebox Collective and delivered as a part of our partnership with SSAP for JAMII 2, a series of 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
