‘If we have a mini chat about Black and Brown people’s lived experience, is that a Black Lives Natter?’

Black Lives Natter: a space to celebrate
Black Lives Natter CIC
is a Community Arts organisation and a platform for Black and Global Majority artists and individuals,
with a focus on survivors, neuro-diverse, queer, queenagers, those with disabilities, and individuals within those communities who historically have been denied access to the arts.
Black Lives Natter believes that in order for communities to thrive, the individuals within those communities have to be seen and heard. We imagine the power of shared stories, art and theatre to heal, document and celebrate. Our soul effort is to create safe non judgemental spaces, to increase access, awareness and engagement, both in the arts and by sharing and learning from the lived experience of those revealed ‘invisible’ stories.
