Closing the Gap, Opening the Stage
Wednesday 18 March 17:45 until 20:30
University of Sussex Campus : Jane Attenborough Studio, Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts
Speaker: Payal Singh
Part of the series: Festival of Ideas
This event will convene a cross-generational panel of alumni, academics, and Student Union leaders to navigate the complexities of racial justice and belonging to Sussex and Brighton.
Following the panel, the stage will transform into a "living canvas" of diverse talent. Featuring beatboxing, rap, and bilingual spoken word, students of color will prove that true regeneration begins when doors are opened wider than ever, reclaiming the narrative of identity and belonging.
