Bakuyard Presents a transformative journey into ancestral connection, through creative expression, art, music and communal ritual.

Every one of us has roots that go back to a people who lived with grounded practice, in harmony with the Earth and with beautiful cultural traditions. These can be (re)connected to in memory, imagination, creative envisioning and conversation.

Facilitated by multi-heritage/Caribbean ancestry artist Mellow Baku, we discover our many roots through ceremony, immersive music, meditative writing and art.

This half day workshop concludes with harmonising soundscape, voice and sound affirmation in a performance-sharing: blending ritual and music, with co-created words, group storytelling, and song from Mellow, with a gentle invitation to contribute your voice to a powerful collective offering.

This multidisciplinary event in Black History Month gives us all opportunity to honour heritage, connect with land and lineage and awaken ancestral memory, no matter Whoodoo you come from.

OPEN TO ALL, SUITABLE FOR AGES 12+
