Upcoming creative events in Brent.
Led by renowned Syrian-born artist Issam Kourbaj, Marking Narratives is a collaborative programme celebrating the creative heritage of Arab and SWANA communities in West London. Through hands-on making and mark-making techniques, participants will explore cultural storytelling, identity, memory, and belonging – all while fostering connection, solidarity, and creative well-being.
The programme is free to attend, and all materials will be provided. We welcome participants of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on individuals and families from Arab and SWANA communities in West London. Whether you have a creative practice or are completely new to art-making, you're warmly invited to take part.
please complete our short Submission of Interest Form. Places are limited and not guaranteed, but we promise to let you know as soon as the form closes whether you’ve been allocated a place.
