Telling Our Stories: South Asia is our broad and integrated programme which engages people through a range of activities (at different levels) with the heritage of the neighbourhood, including research, learning and performance to celebrate local unsung, untold or hidden musical histories, bringing diverse communities together to celebrate the city’s multi-faceted music heritage.
Throughout the project we’ll be conducting Workshops and performances in schools and care homes, plus additional events and exhibitions here at Band on the Wall.
Telling Our Stories aims to research, uncover and share stories behind the heritage of migrant communities of the area. We aim to create participation opportunities for the community, encourage content creation, skill learning, and the expression of creativity, and engage with the local community, and develop greater interest in Band on the Wall.
