In 2022, We Are Here Scotland curated the first ever Rise Up Festival as commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts. It was a weekend celebrating Black and People of Colour Creatives from the North East and across Scotland. As part of the festival, there were a host of panels exploring different subjects. Those panels were recorded and in the lead up to this year’s festival, we wanted to look back at those conversations, listen to them in a bit more detail and explore them one year.
