Bisrat Negassi, Lisa Anderson, and Jumoke Adeyanju, hosted by Miriam Siré Camara
What happens when we come together? At a time when stories, identities and life experiences continue to be erased, silenced or misrepresented, the salon offers a refuge. It provides a space where everyone can listen, remember, imagine and talk to one another.

Inspired by the legacy of the Nardal sisters and their influential Parisian salon, this panel discussion explores how contemporary forms of the salon can foster a sense of community, solidarity and, thereby, liberation.
How do people transform many individual voices into a single collective one? How does storytelling become a form of coming together, and poetry a tool of resistance? What is at stake when they make space for one another?
The discussion brings together three guests whose work is rooted in collective collaboration, cultural memory and the power of creative expression.
Bisrat Negassi, Lisa Anderson and Jumoke Adeyanju reflect on the work carried out within, and the significance of, their respective spaces. They explore how cultural initiatives can foster a sense of belonging and create meaningful platforms for shared exchange.
Moderated by community organiser and political adviser Miriam Siré Camara, the discussion invites the audience to listen attentively and to imagine the possibilities that arise whenever a collective voice is formed.
