Rawanee has been working to promote community creativity of thought and expression since 2020.
FOR THE GLOBAL MAJORITY
Rawanee started off as a Pakistani diaspora collective and whilst we remain rooted, this is now a global majority space for anyone who shares our values and approach.
MULTILINGUAL
We currently work mainly with Urdu and English, but are always open to expanding our scope of work.
In 2024 we have given space to Turkish, Arabic, Persian and regional South Asian languages in our events.
We work to:
- Encourage the generation of new creative and literary output, with a focus on creative authenticity and excellence
- Support the preservation of existing creative and literary artefacts
