Soul City Arts (SCA) is committed to developing creative and innovative programmes of work that deliver against our vision of ‘connecting communities and transforming society through creativity’. We create high quality events and programmes that bring people together to explore commonalities and shared narratives across all faiths and none.
Our work is characterised by deep visual spectacle and an immersive environment that engages all the senses. By celebrating our shared humanity we seek to reverse the isolation felt by some communities and thus build pride, civic engagement and confidence.
SCA focuses on issues pertinent to all minority communities. We present in a way that straddles the interests of multiple groups in society, whilst retaining a sensitivity to the specific needs of individual communities, and our events and programmes are designed accordingly. Islamophobia, segregation, poverty, racism, sexism, violence and classism are, for example, themes that run throughout much of SCA’s work – themes which have special meaning for some groups, though hold relevance for all.
SCA’s trademark involves bringing together diverse communities using the arts as a platform from which all can speak. We capture stories and themes that are unique to individuals, but which bind us all together, and we engage our public as co-producers and co-authors in this work. We believe that collaboration and representation are key to building stronger, more connected communities.
