Life in the time of a Pandemic is a creative collaborative project, designed to elevate the voices and experiences of Muslim and BME women in Scotland.
When Covid-19 hit we battled the same storm, but we were not in the same boat.
Join our female-led online conversation spaces to share stories of your 2020, before participating in creative workshops to learn how to craft your experiences into digital artworks.
Let’s add our voices to the national conversation and send a message to future generations.
Emerging Futures: Life in the Time of a Pandemic is an opportunity to join other Muslim and BME women to reflect on what we’ve learned, bear witness to the unique lockdown experiences of our community and share those stories and messages with the nation.
DETAILS:
Due to the continuing Covid-19 restrictions, all workshops will take place via Zoom.
If you would like to join a workshop but do not have access to a computer or other device please email info@mwrc.org.uk.
