Hosted by anti-racism activist, Ruqia Osman, this is a virtual space to share and listen to personal stories of racism in Bath, and connect with fellow citizens.

Whether you wish to share your story, listen to what others have to say, or if you are an ally looking to show your support - all our welcome.

Share your story

Speak, sing, read a poem. Share your feelings, fears, insights, ideas.

It's your mic. Your space. Your story. (4 mins max)

And your story may include:

🎤 How does it feel to live here in Bath?

🎤 What excites you?

🎤 What scares you?

🎤 What makes you hopeful?

🎤 What have you experienced here in Bath?

🎤 Who’s doing great work?

🎤 What are the changes you want to see?

Listen

When we listen and hear different personal stories being shared we can learn together as a community. If you come to listen, rather than share, you are just as welcome.

The space

At each gathering, we aim to create a safe, regenerative space for all. Hate speech of any kind has no place here, please only share what you feel comfortable sharing, always share with kindness, empathy and respect. Refrain from mentioning names of individuals without their consent, and avoid intentionally offending others.

Dream Space online gatherings

This online gathering is one of three being held in November to explore the defining issues of our time:

About Dream Space

Dream Space is a creative and experimental community-led project conceived and convened by Good for Nothing, Wild Labs and supported by The National Lottery Community Fund through their Emerging Futures initiative.

We are seeking to amplify voices from our city’s communities around the defining issues of our time: racism, the climate & ecological crisis, and the inequalities revealed through Covid-19, while also unearthing ideas for shaping the future of our city.

What happens to my story?

We want every voice to be heard.

All stories told will be creatively documented and shared widely across the city via a new film, podcast and print medium for Bath. Find out more here
