Some have a lived experience of forced displacement and migration. Part of Made in Scotland Showcase, at the Scottish Storytelling Centre 14th-16th August https://www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com/shows/the-other/

An extraordinary ensemble of artists working together collaboratively with music , visual art, spoken word and songs , exploring their diverse cultures and experiences in a vibrant and moving performance.

The ethos behind the project is to be inclusive, supportive and diverse, to improve the understanding between communities and break down barriers through their creative practices.

“By reflecting on our perception of ‘the other’ we can shift our view that who we see as ‘them’ and not ‘us’, we can not only become aware that, we are also ‘the other’, but that ultimately we are all human”.
