THE GATHERING (2024)
INIVA
I served on the Programme Committee (Nourishment) for The Gathering 2024, a two-day convening centring Global Majority UK-based artists and cultural workers. The event explored restorative practices and frameworks for stronger relationships and more sustainable arts ecologies, with a holistic focus on five pillars: Practice, Mind, Embodiment, Environment, and Nourishment.
As part of the selection committee, I mapped and selected practitioners who would deliver the retreat, helping to shape a weekend of programming centred around rest. My work focused on helping to design the Nourishment strand to explore how food, ritual, and shared meals can support reflection, care, and collective resilience, positioning nourishment as both a practical and cultural tool for sustaining artists and arts communities.
