Looking Back to Look Forward: Cultural Memory Workshop (race & diaspora)

As part of our 21st birthday Radical Retrospectives programme, join Collective Encounters to look back over the past 20 years of cultural change in Liverpool City Region and beyond. Over three themed sessions, we are inviting local people to share memories, experiences and feelings about how things have changed and what we would like to see in the future.

Each session will be led by Collective Encounters artists and participants who bring lived experience in the theme under discussion. Expect a welcoming and open atmosphere, some gentle creative activities, creative material to reflect on from the Collective Encounters archives, and plenty of opportunities to chat and share.
