About Diaspora!
Diaspora! is an arts festival for Bristol and the South West, presented by the Diverse Artists Network. Taking place this year for the very first time, 3-6 May 2024, the festival will platform and celebrate the wide variety of talent reflected in the region’s underrepresented cultural communities.
Working with some of Bristol’s most iconic venues, Diaspora! will showcase many different art forms such as dance, theatre, visual arts, film, poetry, exhibitions, music. We will also host events, talks, community workshops and celebrations that highlight the amazing vibrancy of Bristol’s artists in the run up to the festival.
What does diaspora mean?
A diaspora is a group of people who moved away from their original homeland and made a new home somewhere else. Diasporas can span over many generations and include the descendants of the people who first moved.
