In Between Worlds: Second Generation Identity Through Creative Practice

A warm welcome to you all from Leicester Cathedral.Leicester Cathedral is at the physical heart of our city and county. Our church, built on the site of a Roman temple and dedicated to St Martin of Tours, has been embedded in the public, economic, cultural and religious life of this community since medieval times. Since 1927, as the seat of the Bishop of Leicester, we now gather people together for worship, celebration, lament, debate and service of the poor and vulnerable. We offer hospitality to the wider church, the communities of faith which make up our multicultural society and those who come as visitors to the East Midlands, especially in search of the story of King Richard III.We have found here that God’s love is liberating, transcending all the barriers that separate us and calling us to be a pilgrim people. We meet Jesus Christ afresh daily as we serve those most in physical or spiritual need. Every day we see that those who come as strangers so often leave as friends.We are open for worship and visiting most days –  we invite you to come and see and to join with us in this adventure.

A panel discussion with four creatives who identify as second-generation migrants to explore how identity is shaped.

Join us for a panel discussion which brings together four creatives who identify as second-generation migrants to explore how identity is shaped, negotiated and expressed through artistic practice.The conversation will centre on lived experience, examining what it means to grow up between cultures, languages, expectations and histories, and how this “in-between” position informs creative expression and output.Rather than treating identity as a fixed category, the panel will explore it as fluid, contested, layered and evolving, particularly within the British context.Doors open at 6.30pm.
