Krio Collective Exhibition Opportunity

I’m seeking four UK-based creatives of Sierra Leonean heritage (visual artists, poets, musicians) to join Krio Collective, an Arts Council England-funded project exploring identity, migration, and African influence on British culture. Participants will engage in monthly group discussions, studio visits, and a group exhibition at The London Lighthouse Gallery in late 2025. A £2,000 fee will be paid to each artist. Fluency in Krio is preferred but not essential.

Eligibility: Visual artists, poets, and musicians of Sierra Leonean heritage. Creatives based in the UK. Artists interested in themes of identity, migration, and the intersection of African and British cultures. Those eager to collaborate, share ideas, and contribute to a meaningful creative dialogue. Applicants who speak the Krio language are strongly encouraged to apply.

What you get: £2000 paid to each artist, Monthly group discussions & studio visits, and group exhibition
