Nottingham Arts Mela, the UK's oldest mela festival, is back but this time in the digital realm.
Life EventsFrom Sunday 27 July to Sunday 23 August, Nottingham Arts Mela will present a daily creative provocation, running online for the first time across their new digital platforms. The festival will conclude with a full weekend of back-to-back events, starting on Friday 21 August and running through until to Sunday 23 August.
The Mela provides multiple representations of art and culture from South Asian diaspora artists and communities. Each year it reinvents based on a curatorial premise: this year the theme is Climate, Changed, exploring over four weeks how climates have changed in our environment, politics, society, arts and culture.
You can expect online cooking; films featuring South Asian
diaspora world-wide; music, dance, debates,
poetry and spoken word; family art workshops,
murals, archives activated, morning raags
and yoga... a full flavour of culture responding
to these unprecedented times.
