In collaboration with Centrala, this panel brings together CEEUs Network, artist-in-residence Nela Milic, and Olga Drygas (Nowy Theatre, Warsaw – who will be joining the panel online) for a dynamic discussion on artistic expression across borders. The conversation will delve into how political and social contexts, migration, and heritage shape artistic identity and resistance. The panel highlights how artists navigate conflict and displacement while building communities through their work.

Key topics will include: Resistance in Artistic Expression, The Impact of Politics and Conflict on Creativity, Migration and Identity in Art.

Centrala’s Central and Eastern European Network gathers migrants, creatives, and community leaders to celebrate cultural diversity and tackle key issues affecting Central and Eastern European migrants in the UK. They meet every third Wednesday for exciting evenings of art, migration, and community.
