Saturday 5th July, 10am-4pm, The Engine Room, Tottenham Hale, London, N17 9FU. 

 

This workshop, for BIPOC who identify as having a multi-heritage background, offered a safe and supportive space to explore BIPOC multi-heritage identities, gaining greater insight into the impact of our young experience, in the varied environments we grew up in. We explored how significant others and wider cultures responded to us as a multi-heritage child, looking at the nuances of these responses. Internal and external oppression were included and questioned in this vital area, to support anti-racist practice and inclusion. 

 

Reflections on how our adult selves relate to our inner child were facilitated. Pair work, small group exercises and large group sharing formed part of our journey. Creative means such as poetry, visualisations, drawings and a closing ritual were used. The workshop invited you to connect deeply with your multi-heritage identities, and through this lens, how it felt to grow up as a multi-heritage child.
