Join us for three days celebrating the creative contributions of people of colour, hosted by Civic House, Glad Cafe, and Glasgow Film Theatre!
The festival will celebrate both our collective identity as PoC and the intersectionality and diversity of our stories, cultures, and art forms. The festival has been co-curated by Kevin Leomo and Zahra Khosroshahi.
Our performances, screening, and workshops centre the voices, experiences, and creativity of people of colour in Glasgow, sharing amongst our larger community. Storytelling sits at the heart of these creative practices, and celebrates the resilience, joy, and talent of PoC artists.
Our stories. Our lens. Our terms.
