Description

The BMC is a intergenerational user-led creative arts & health project for men of colour with lived experience of life challenges where they can grow and support each other through the difficulties that they face. We aim to provide support and nurture around mental health issues that affect their lives. We mix art and politics along with a playful mixture of games, exercises and techniques as a medicine to heal the wounds whilst exploring the stuckness, blockages and difficulties men experience in their daily lives.

What to expect

There will two performances: 11.0am - 1.00pm and 2.00pm - 4.00pm

 

This community engagement event immerses you in film, interactivity, debate and includes improvisation. With a fantastic cast of performers, this interactive performance takes you into dimensions you have never seen, forcing you to consider the sometimes uneasy question of “what is needed to improve the lives of Black & Brown men in the UK?”

 

The Black Men’s Consortium is a community-led exploration arts and health project in which Black & Brown men meet to experience positive and meaningful interactions and discuss issues that matter to them.

 

Through opportunities to express oneself, speak, learn and empower themselves creatively by using and mixing politics with art in order to make performances which are rooted in the group members’ experiences.

 

The Black Men’s Consortium is a weekly creative space for Black & brown men where differences of opinion and unspoken feelings and resentments can be safely voiced and shared.

 

The group works together every Monday evening in Brixton 6.00pm - 9.00pm at Mosaic Clubhouse 65 Effra Road Brixton SW2 1BZ to creatively cement long term relationships which lead to shared activities.
