ABOUT THE EVENT
Migration Matters Festival, for the first time in its 11 year history, is heading outdoors!
With this years theme paying homage to Sheffield’s industrial roots, there’s no better place than Kelham Island Museum to host the Forged By Migration Outdoor Stage in collaboration with Sheffield Museums.
Celebrating the communities and cultures that have made Sheffield what it is, expect a soulful and (hopefully) sun-filled afternoon as we welcome musicians, dancers, poets and performers to show what makes this city special.
So join us for a free, family-friendly event featuring vibrant music, DJs, dance, exhibitions, international food, and a special tour of the museum.
Dance
Romano Jilo Dance Group
Romano Jilo Dance Group performs traditional Romani dance sequences in small groups. The Romani dance routines are performed to traditional Roma music originating from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary and Spain. The performers wear traditional costumes reflecting Roma culture. The dances are very energetic and the costumes vibrant and colourful.
Sunrit Culture Group
Sunrit Culture Group, founded by Charu Asthana in 2016, is rooted in the Sanskrit term "Sunrit," meaning a harmonious blend of beauty, truth, and kindness. The group's mission is to educate and celebrate South Asian culture, with a specific emphasis on Vedic heritage and traditions, facilitating transformative and intercultural exchanges. The group values inclusivity, cultural cohesion, and fostering mutual understanding among communities.
Music
Grupo Luma
Grupo Luma are a Liverpool-based Latin American fusion band led by Chilean brothers Francisco and Oscar Carrasco. Blending original music with traditional sounds, they deliver vibrant, high-energy performances using rich instrumentation, taking audiences on a dynamic journey through Latin America’s diverse musical heritage with passion, rhythm, and cultural storytelling.
