Updated venue: This event will now be held at the EAF Pavilion
How can those that have been scattered (diaspora) nourish themselves? How does the natural environment affect what bodies carry?
Through creative exercises, reflections and discussion at the EAF Pavilion, this workshop brings together those previously separated (sunago) to explore ways to heal through food, community and the outdoors.
Decolonising The Outdoors is a creative and community project which dismantles narratives of dominating land and extracting nature. Events focus on rebuilding relationships with our natural environment, and imagining anti-imperial and anti-capitalist futures. Decolonising The Outdoors is run by Aileen Angsutorn Lees, a queer Thai-British multidisciplinary artist and facilitator based in Perthshire.
Please note this event is for BPOC* only (see definition below) to offer a level of collective care and safer space that is not widely available.

*BPOC stands for ‘Black people and People of Colour’ and is a self-identifying term. While the term BPOC is used here, there are limitations with this terminology. These sessions aim to address and overcome systemic barriers that people face directly or indirectly based on their ethnic or national identities, race or perceived racial identities, or the colour of their skin as per the Equality Act 2010. This includes people who identify as Black, brown, people of colour, Global Majority, mixed-race, multiple heritage and/or are from the Global South, and/or are East and Southeast Asian, West Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, Arab, African, African-Caribbean, Caribbean, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Indigenous, or First Nations, and diasporas.
