PROJECT ZANANA

Project Zanana: transcultural conversations & connections

Connecting creative Black, Asian, Mixed Heritage and People of Colour through interesting conversations and storytelling from Scotland and beyond.

Exploring all the ways we exist as talented creatives, universe-builders, trend-setters and rule-breakers. Sister project to PERO, Project Zanana in some small way wants to reach out a hand and connect us across creative disciplines and oceans.

Project Zanana is a practice-led project by Veronique AA Lapeyre, rooted in her interests in anthropology, cultural production, digital storytelling, and obsession with archiving as the seeds for our future.

Project Zanana’s activities will shape-shift over time according to the need, interest, and challenges that face our communities. At it’s heart it seeks to create moments for conversations, reflections and explorations. It seeks to support our existing creative community and encourages new possibilities.

Launched in 2018, the founding event programme Zanana Socials saught to reduce isolation and those siloed working in different disciplines, by bringing Creatives of Colour together in a safe space to share stories and spark discussions.

Current projects include Zanana Coaching.
