We are committed to creating artistic work that relates to the Black experience in Scotland and which also explores universal human aspirations and follies and to make such work accessible to the widest range of audiences in Scotland and beyond.

Our main aim is to develop a Centre For Artistic Excellence and Cultural Exchange in Scotland. We promote creative partnerships and cultural exchange with further and higher educational institutions, community groups and individuals to support life-long learning, social inclusion and the principles of artistic excellence and civic participation by all. In addition, we aim to promote participation in the arts through the creation of appropriate platforms and professional development for new and emerging talents.

"When I first began writing the novel I wanted to show the different attitudes of both cultures. But a visit to The Gambia gave me the realisation that the lives of women in these cultures were not that far removed from each other. This changed the whole slant of the book".
