Explore personal histories, embodied experiences, and the importance of oral storytelling
Interdisciplinary artist and designer Nabiséré Nicole is leading an immersive weekend of reflection, storytelling, and connection through the lens of personal style, culture, and memory.
The gatherings explore the layered narratives of African and Caribbean diasporan communities, honouring the wisdom, care, and cultural identity embedded in personal histories.
These workshops celebrate the wisdom and lived experiences passed down through generations. Whether you’re gathering with family or the wider community, each session invites you to engage with stories that honour the beauty of migration, community, and tradition.
This project invites you to engage in intimate conversations that explore personal histories, embodied experiences, and the importance of oral storytelling in preserving cultural identity.
For the Family Gatherings, the workshops are tailored for families and children. They are structured, with guided exploration of personal narratives and creative activities.
