Where I’m Coming From is a month-long digital programme dedicated to languages that are present and spoken by migrant communities in the UK. The programme aims to open up conversations around the exclusivity of language in accessing the production and consumption of arts and culture, alongside considering the wider cultural presence of underrepresented artists and groups in international art debates. It challenges the assumed position of the English language and its hegemonic stature as a given and universal form of communication. In doing so, Where I’m Coming from highlights the beauty, intricacies and complexities of a multitude of languages featured through the project.
Where I’m Coming From orients towards increasing opportunities for new ways of working collaboratively, rethinking the impact and role of arts and culture in a pandemic and post-pandemic scenario. It emphasises with careful thought the vested importance of highlighting diversity and pluralism in such unique times. At the same time, the programme endeavours to experiment with various models to mediate the digital experience and proximity.
Where I’m Coming From strives to connect and work with community groups in the UK and internationally by inviting them to lead cooking sessions. Through this, the programme invites the public to learn about each cultural group’s cuisine, which also allows them to reproduce and engage in their own homes.
