We got a lovely reminder on Facebook for the Wieśniacy folk dance workshop last year, celebrating their 75th anniversary.
We took part in a traditional folk dance workshop, and we got to watch the professionals perform, all while gazing at their beautiful traditional outfits.

This six-month programme, run by Centrala in partnership with Reimagine Redditch, will culminate in a final public showcase in February 2026, sharing the voices and stories of the community through art.
These creative workshops provide a space to connect, share memories, and celebrate cultural traditions in a supportive environment.
In our recent session led by artist and activist Maggie Stick, participants worked with collage, drawing, and storytelling to reflect on their personal journeys and shared experiences.
Our Cultures Our Stories: Exploring Identity Through Art, Sept 2025 - Feb 2026
