On Monday, 29 April, Diversity Arts hosted the InterGenerate Artist Gathering, crafted to create a meaningful space for our InterGenerate artists. It was a pleasure to witness such vibrant exchanges over a timber table and a shared meal, as the Artists discussed the motivations behind their involvement, and explored the depths of their artistic practices and personal connections. InterGenerate is a mentorship initiative dedicated to uplifting culturally and racially marginalised (CaRM) artists.
Our aim was not only to nurture existing relationships within the mentoring groups but also to foster new ones, deepening the community’s understanding and support. A significant focus was placed on sharing narratives of resilience and tenderness, both personal and professional, which aligns with our project’s goal to inspire and empower future generations of CaRM artists.
