Horizons Festival – Afrocats We Cannot Walk Alone

Thu 17 Jun 2021

Afrocats youth respond to the Horizons Festival theme of #We Cannot Walk Alone through creative movement and poetry created during lockdown. Filmed in Whitworth Park by Leah Olwen Llewelyn and co-created by the young people with dance artist, Maya Marsh and spoken word artist Keisha Thompson, this moving performance picks up on the relevance of the 1960s US civil rights leader Martin Luther King’s I have a Dream Speech to young people today. This dynamic performance from Afrocats’ Youth of the World programme showcases the creative expression and talents of young people from the Manchester’s new migrant communities

Horizons Festival 2021
Sat 12 Jun 2021 – Fri 18 Jun 2021
This year’s festival embraces the national Refugee Week theme ‘We Cannot Walk Alone’, taken from Martin Luther King’s iconic I have a Dream speech; the speech that called for all people of all backgrounds to join together in the fight for freedom, a rallying call which resonates across time and space.

Presented by HOME in partnership with Community Arts North West, the festival celebrates the enduring power of creativity and the incredible international artists who have made Manchester their home, with a provocative and stimulating programme of film, theatre, music, performance, and discussion, presented live and online.
