In honour of Black History Month, 2Funky Arts is creating a powerful showcase event that will tour the Midlands in October.

The Leicester-based black arts and music organisation, 2Funky Arts, is working with a selection of 12 artists from Black, African, & Caribbean ethnicities, as part of their And Still I Rise project. Each artist has been commissioned to create ground-breaking performance pieces across music, poetry, & dance, which reflect and celebrate the vibrancy of black history and culture.

Artists will create new material with guidance from Carol Leeming MBE FRSA and Marcus Joseph, who will provide support as practitioners to develop their pieces.

All performance pieces will form part of a showcase that will tour Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, and Birmingham, as part of Black History Month 2023.

This event will take place in Leicester.
