WANAWAKE launches with an invitation to take time to connect first with self, with others, and also with interventions throughout the day.

WANAWAKE launches with...

Tai Chi, High Tea & Creative Conversations at Compton Verny House Charity

Creating time, space and grace for connection for Women of Black Heritage in the Arts, Culture, Creativity and Heritage sectors.

This is an invitation to join us at Compton Verney for the launch of WANAWAKE, funded by Arts Council England and delivered by Weusi, this is a new programme bringing together Women of Black Heritage across the Midlands and UK, through connection, creativity and collaboration.

Our first gathering offers time to pause, meet one another and enjoy Tai Chi, High Tea and Creative Conversations in beautiful surroundings.

Whether you’re an artist, creative, consultant, coder, broadcaster, producer, maker, performer, writer, curator, cultural organiser or working behind the scenes, we’d love you to join us.

Come with friends or come on your own... and hold space to make new connections. And if you have children, please come with them too.

What to expect:

Tai Chi: time to move, breathe and settle into the day.

High Tea: an opportunity to enjoy food and conversation together.

Creative Conversations: space to share experiences, ideas and possibilities.

Time to connect with other Women of Black Heritage working across our sectors.

An introduction to WANAWAKE and the programme ahead.

WANAWAKE creates intentional spaces where we can connect, reflect, share and grow together. Beginning in Coventry and Birmingham, the programme will bring women together through in-person gatherings and an online community, building relationships that can continue beyond each event.

This launch is an invitation to help shape that community from the beginning.
