Common Ground Festival

Common Ground Festival was a three-day long celebration of diasporic culture and artistic resilience, taking place in Glasgow, 20 - 22 June 2024. The Festival showcased an array of creative work across the CCA including performances, art installations, film screenings, talks, workshops and community events. Coinciding with World Refugee Day, Refugee Festival Scotland and Glasgow International, Common Ground Festival aimed to strengthen the connections and collaborations across the arts and refugee sectors.

For its first edition, the Festival brought together a collective of Common Ground creatives, partner organisations and community groups, both local and international. The programme included newly commissioned projects by Scotland-based artists and performers, produced in partnership with organisations such as Refugee Festival Scotland, Maryhill Integration Network, as well as events in partnership with GRAMNet and Glasgow Seed Library, amongst others.
