Finding your purpose isn’t easy. It takes courage to pursue your passion and make it a reality. Our passion became clear when the global pandemic began. COVID-19 amplified the inequalities in our society and studies showed us that marginalised communities were most vulnerable to the impact of lockdowns and the economic downturn to follow. This inspired us to formalise COMMUN.
COMMUN is a combined arts organisation with a focus on community building with emerging and mid-career Global Majority voices. Through development programmes, events, learning tools, and digital media, COMMUN creates opportunities for Global Majority voices to collaborate and create works to achieve a greater understanding for othered people in our society.
If you’e an artist, freelancer, collective, initiative, charity or similar advocating for greater Global Majority participation in the Arts, then COMMUN is a space for you. Our website will bring you closer to Global Majority voices through chats, films, music, and books. And, we’ll support your personal journey by providing you with a database to search for grants as well as take courses to further your learning.
All of the above is made available through our simple subscription plans to match an individual or organisation’s needs.
Through COMMUN, we aim to address inequalities and support Global Majority voices in the face of economic decline. We aspire to become a leading voice for change through collaboration and understanding; reframing the narrative on how to achieve diversity and inclusivity by encouraging participatory working methods, engaging in compassionate storytelling, and offering educational tools to enhance learning.
Through our circular framework, we’ll work to develop a tightly knit network of communities and greater possibilities to connect with one other. In doing so, we hope to achieve a deeper connection and increase empathy for Global Majority struggles and contributions to society.
Welcome to our space.
