Theatre of Migration

As part of Platforma Festival, join community artists Carlota Matos and Hiba Elhindi for a discussion about the ethics of working with migrants in theatre, chaired by Vandna Mehta.

The evening will include a sharing from ongoing theatre workshops with migrant women in collaboration with Borderlands and a screening of the work being done by project SuFIA (Sudanese Folklore-Inspired Arts) by Hiba. The 45-min panel discussion will feature topics such as the ethics of participation, making theatre from lived experience and working with migrants followed by a Q&A.

Carlota recently partnered with Bristol-based charity Borderlands to offer free weekly theatre workshops for migrant women starting in September 2023. This participatory theatre project addresses language barriers and explores identity and what it means to be a woman in different cultures.

Theatre of Migration with Carlota Matos and Hiba Elhindi will take place on Thursday 12th October, 6.30-8PM at the Trinity Centre, Trinity Road, Bristol, BS2 0NW.

Doors will open at 6.15PM and the event will start promptly at 6.30PM. Refreshments will be provided. Please note there won’t be any alcohol served.

ACCESS: This is a relaxed event and will have BSL interpretation throughout. Trinity is wheelchair accessible.

Families are welcome and there will be a non-staffed breakout space available with children's toys and activities.
