Glasgow Zine Fest: Space to Breathe: The Necessity of PoC Artistic Spaces

Explore the importance of BPOC creative spaces as a means of building community, an outlet for internalised oppression, and a celebration of BPOC culture outside of narratives of struggle.

Glasgow Zine Fest: Space to Breathe: The Necessity of PoC Artistic Spaces

About Glasgow Zine Fest: Space to Breathe: The Necessity of PoC Artistic Spaces

“Space to breathe” is not a phrase commonly used within discourse on the surrounding BPOC culture, yet it is consistently proven that racialised communities are at greater risk of suffering from a range of stresses induced by deep-rooted structural issues.

In this discussion with local Glasgow BPOC Creatives we will explore the importance of BPOC creative spaces as a means of building community, an outlet for internalised oppression, and a celebration of BPOC culture outside of narratives of struggle. Host Effua Ibojie will be joined by Nicole Ndlovu, co-founder of Uber promising and up & coming Glasgow based ZAZA Zine, local BPOC party-artisan duo Mojxmma and 2022 BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the year Bemz!
