About Panel discussion: Art, Education & Culture in the Congolese Diaspora

Free | Foyle Studio

As part of the Congolese Independence Day celebrations, join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the dynamic intersections of art, education, and culture within the Congolese diaspora in the UK.

This engaging conversation will feature prominent voices from the Congolese community—artists, educators, and cultural practitioners—who will reflect on how Congolese identity is shaped, expressed, and preserved in a UK context. Together, they will examine the influence of Congolese heritage on creative expression, the role of education in shaping diasporic narratives, and how cultural practices serve as a bridge between generations and across borders.

Whether you're part of the Congolese community, passionate about diaspora experiences, or interested in the evolving role of culture in identity formation, this panel offers a space for dialogue, reflection, and connection.
