Our Story

‘Where I’m Coming From’ was set up in August 2017 by Hanan Issa and Durre Shahwar as an open mic series to predominantly but not exclusively promote Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) writers and voices in Wales. We intended it to be a safe space where local creatives can share their thoughts through the medium of the spoken word, be it poetry, prose, or something more unconventional. The aim is to challenge, explore, de-construct or even parody any topic with respect and open-mindedness.

As well as showcasing upcoming creatives, the series also aims to incorporate talks and debates with the aim of bridging the gap between local communities, writers, artists, and organisations.

Over the course of the year, we have grown into a platform for not only BAME voices, but for people from all walks of life - especially young and new performers and students. All are welcome, as we hope that the sessions will provide an effective networking space for those looking to converse and collaborate creatively. The sessions are run on a monthly basis and any changes are listed on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Thanks, Hanan Issa / Durre Shahwar / Taylor Edmonds
