sanctuary and culture
Sanctuary and Culture is a new programme by D6, working towards the development of an equitable and sustainable arts sector, with artists and cultural practitioners who are refugees or seeking asylum.
Deepening knowledge and understanding of the systemic immigration challenges and associated issues that impact upon artists and cultural practitioners with lived experience of displacement is vital.
Sanctuary and Culture is a safe, welcoming and creative environment which artists can access through residencies that offer space for creativity, peer support and professional development.
The programme will also develop a North East network for exploratory conversations focusing on learning, listening and understanding to bespoke training offered by a range of experts across the arts and refugee sector.
Through this programme we seek to action the necessary step change towards a regional cultural sector that is equitable, representative and responsive to the needs of a diverse range of artists and cultural practitioners.
