Community Arts North West and HOME are hosting the next meeting of the Arts and Migration Group at HOME on Tuesday 8 October between 6pm – 8pm in the building’s event space.
The Arts and Migration Group is a network of artists, freelancers, facilitators, and producers who have lived experience of migration. The group typically meets twice per year and hosts a celebration event during June’s Horizons Festival.
The Arts and Migration Group’s meetings typically include discussions on local priorities and work by artists from a forced migration background, ideas for festival programming for the Horizons Festival (co-produced by HOME and CAN and taking place in June at HOME during Refugee Week), followed by a social event.
The group is a supportive space to network, share ideas and opportunities.
Catering is provided and an agenda is sent out in advance.
New members are welcome to join the network meetings and socials and can subscribe to the email group.
This meeting will be chaired by Mustafa Alachkar.
Mustafa Alachkar is a consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist working in the NHS. Moving from Syria to the UK in 2005, Mustafa is one of the coordinators of the Celebrating Syria Festival, the first festival of Syrian arts and culture to be organised in the UK by Rethink Rebuild Society, an organisation for the Syrian community in Manchester.
