Rise Up

Rise Up! Festival is a celebration of some of the many diverse voices and visions that shape Aberdeen and Scotland’s Black and PoC creative communities. Join us at the Music Hall and Lemon Tree for three days of art, music, and dialogue that challenge, inspire, and unite. Curated by We Are Here Scotland in partnership with Aberdeen Performing Arts.

Artist Duo Rudy Kanhye and Lauren La Rose are interested in labour, migration and the environment. Their transdisciplinary practice, including cooking and food, explore everyday acts of resistance creating works that tackle global politics, climate change, alternative economies and embodied forms of storytelling.

Rudy Kanhye explores the socio-political and historical conditions integral to Mauritian cultural identity and the wider east African and Indian Ocean region. He works with local histories, critical texts, public collections and archives, culminating in a multidisciplinary practice. Rudy’s works consider the language of race, decolonisation, and the entangled legacies of European colonialism.

Lauren La Rose (she/they) is a nonbinary, disabled/chronically ill, Latine interdisciplinary artist and educator working at the intersection of curating, producing, radical pedagogy and social practice. Her interdisciplinary practice investigates ways in which artists and activists have historically worked together
