Film screening followed by a discussion, performance and dance workshop
This afternoon event is part of The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival 2024, whose theme is 'In/Visible,' and it includes informal discussions on vital topics such as identity, belonging, im/migration, in/visibility, cultural appropriation, and how arts and community can improve our mental wellbeing.
It features a short documentary answering the questions – Are we really here? – Do we belong? - followed by a moderated and informal conversation between participants as they delve deeper into how these themes impact not only Latin Americans but also minority groups or invisible communities living in Scotland.
This dialogue aims to foster a deeper understanding and empathy among the attendees, and to reach more audiences in Scotland, promoting the visibility of minority groups here, and fostering a feeling of belonging.
The afternoon culminates in a restorative dance and storytelling workshop, providing a moment of reflection and relaxation. This will be led by dance artist and performer Nancy Jacinto (Ahmar), director of Latino Dance Project.
This event is open to everyone who wants to learn more about the Latin American community in Scotland, and those who are looking for a place to belong.
Recommended for ages 16 +
