Ankur Festival Roots to Routes Exploring Race and Nation

A panel discussion chaired by Professor Willy Maley of Glasgow University with speakers including Pamela Carter and Gareth Vile.

Ankur Festival is a free, multi-artform weekend event, where local artists, academics and the general public interrogate the issue of race and ethnicity in contemporary Scotland. Driven by questions “Where are you really from?” and “Do you have to be white to be Scottish?”, as well as examining the subject of growing up mixed race. A compelling range of responses, notions of dual heritage, immigration and clashes of culture will be explored through an eclectic programme of performance, art, music, poetry, film, comedy and discussion.
