Collective Roots CIC is an African cultural hub bringing people together through events, arts, heritage, food, music, storytelling and community experiences..

We create and support cultural events that bring people together to celebrate African heritage and contemporary African culture.

From festivals and celebrations to community gatherings, our events create opportunities to experience culture in a welcoming and engaging environment.

We work with artists and creatives to showcase African creativity through visual arts, dance, performance, fashion, crafts, photography and other creative forms.

Music and performance are at the heart of cultural expression. We create opportunities for musicians, dancers, performers and storytellers to share their talents with the community.

We create opportunities to share stories, histories, traditions and experiences, helping people learn about the diverse cultures and heritage of Africa and its diaspora.

Our work is ultimately about people. We create spaces where individuals, families, community groups, creatives and organisations can meet, participate and build connections.

Food connects people across generations and cultures. We celebrate African food and the stories, traditions and communities behind it through food experiences, demonstrations and events.
