ALT A Collective Statement from Tamasha tiata fahodzi New Earth Theatre Tara Theatre Beyond Face Talawa Theatre Company

ALT We believe that everyone has the right to live, work, and enjoy the rich culture of this country without fear or harm. Recent outbursts of racist violence across the country run counter to this belief and as a collective of Global Majority led organisations, we want to make our position and our work clear again in the face of these destructive voices of division. Our primary concern at this time is to focus on making sure that our artists and audiences have access to spaces that help them feel cared for and safe. This work is not new for us, and this unseen labour has always been a part of what we do.

ALT However, now it feels more important than ever. We would like to offer any artists, creatives, theatre-makers, and freelancers connected to any of our organisations, the opportunity to email, call or request time to share what they might be feeling. We are pooling our resources to ensure that we can offer access to a kind, friendly voice if you need it. Each of our organisations will be holding space for those that need care and connection.
