About this event
We are excited to announce that we are in the initial stages of planning for an ACS x UBUNTU Cultural Showcase. This showcase aims to highlight Scotland's African and Caribbean diaspora and celebrate our rich and diverse cultures. We are curating a showcase featuring performances, art, musicians, and, notably, a culinary exploration of our cultural heritage.
We are looking for volunteers to help set up and take down the event. The event will take place on the 29th of March.
Free food and drinks will be provided on the day. You are also more than free to enjoy the showcase (you will not have to pay for tickets)
