2025-2026: Rivers of Resilience. Scroll down to read more
Preserving and nurturing creative thought & expression: events, conversations, plays, podcasts, publications, workshops
Through our special podcast series, Rivers of Resilience, we will explore the lived experiences of migrants, refugees, people affected by conflict and displacement, and those working alongside them.
These conversations will be shared alongside our other podcast content over the next few months, and will be woven with poetry and creative expression.
The wider initiative will, over time, include our events and upcoming blog, providing space for meaningful conversations and poetic reflections on what it means to find home in motion, and to reflect on resilience and survival when faced with conflict.

Rawanee has been working to promote community creativity of thought and expression since 2020.
FOR THE GLOBAL MAJORITY
Rawanee started off as a Pakistani diaspora collective and whilst we remain rooted, this is now a global majority space for anyone who shares our values and approach.
MULTILINGUAL
We currently work mainly with Urdu and English, but are always open to expanding our scope of work.
In 2024 we have given space to Turkish, Arabic, Persian and regional South Asian languages in our events.
We work to:
- Encourage the generation of new creative and literary output, with a focus on creative authenticity and excellence
- Support the preservation of existing creative and literary artefacts
