SEEN Lewisham - A new Global Majority festival for London comes to the Broadway Theatre
10th June - 16th June
The Broadway Theatre, Catford will come alive from Monday 10 June to Sunday 16 June, with SEEN Lewisham, a new Global Majority festival for London, showcasing the inherent talent in Lewisham, one of London’s most diverse boroughs.
This new festival will showcase, mentor and fund artists of Black, Asian and global majority ethnicities from Lewisham, helping them to elevate and amplify their work to new audiences.
SEEN Lewisham is a partnership between the London Borough of Lewisham and innovative, multi-award winning arts company Nouveau Riche. The festival is funded by Lewisham Council, the Mayor of London and the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.
Kicking-off our first programme announcement is Black Wall Street, The Dreamland, the latest production by Khareem Jamal on Friday 14 June. Taking place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921, the production brings to life the extraordinary tale of Greenwood, a predominantly black neighbourhood within Tulsa.
In addition to captivating performances, the SEEN Lewisham programme will showcase the talents of local artists, performers, and designers who responded to a call for submissions in February. Through a grant programme, selected artists have received funding and will be mentored by industry pioneers to bring their performances to life.
