Revival showcases Black/minoritorised women; sharing their stories: overcoming challenges, campaigning for change, breathing new life into themselves and their communities.
The project will empower women, supporting them to see themselves as survivors and change makers via community workshops, whilst developing their writing skills.
The project will culminate with a performance at Unity to an audience of family, friends and community leaders; and will be part of Liverpool’s calendar of events celebrating and honouring the contributions of Black and Minoritorised women across the city, engaging participants in the communal act of Revival.
