The Opportunity
Dr. Nkasi Stoll has announced a paid opportunity for Black artists, educators, healers, and cultural workers to deliver in-person workshops in London. These workshops will center Black joy, creativity, and community connection, offering spaces where art, healing, and storytelling come together to celebrate and uplift.
What They’re Looking For
Facilitators from across the Black diaspora (African, Caribbean, or mixed with Black heritage) are invited to propose workshops. Areas of focus may include:
- Dance, music, acting, and drama
- Arts, crafts, and photography
- Healing practices such as yoga or somatic therapy
- Spoken word, poetry, and performance
The workshops must be led by Black facilitators and will be open to the Black community in London.
Why This Matters
This initiative is more than a series of workshops, it’s a movement of reclamation and celebration. By centering Black joy, it challenges deficit-based narratives and instead amplifies creativity, resilience, and cultural pride.
- Representation: Black facilitators leading for Black communities.
- Healing & Connection: Spaces that honor collective well-being.
- Visibility: A platform for Black creatives to showcase artistry and pedagogy.
