Evoking Belonging: Social Sculpture for Urban Livity Culture

Evoking Belonging is a Social Sculpture, transdisciplinary practice which focuses on: race, justice, equity and healing through the lens of Ubuntu for the enlivenment of Belonging for all communities. Our practice is participatory, multi-sensory and transformative.

The Evoking Belonging approach is rooted in Ubuntu: An African Bantu philosophy and cultural practice illuminating our collective humanity. In this humanity, we are all inter-connected and, from this perspective, we are invited to co-create our human being in community as a cultural practice..

Our works dwell at the intersection of: social justice, social transformation, regeneration and place-making for African-Caribbean Diaspora heritage communities.

We EVOKE through three principal axes: culture, polity & ARTivism and we focus our works through engagement with:

ARTivists of African-Caribbean Diaspora heritage communities

Indigenous African-Caribbean wisdom keepers

Indigenous African-Caribbean healers
