About Us
Samata Arts Collective is an international gathering of arts and community groups. We have been developing ways of collaborating, connecting and performing to each other using accessible technology and a mix of online, in-person and hybrid events. Together we are a group of musicians, dancers, puppeteers, artists, community groups and people of all ages, and our events have featured performances from India, Kenya, Zambia, Scotland, Jordan, Nigeria and Ireland.
We are developing a number of shows and performances across different artforms, countries and cultures which would love to tour and bring together for festivals and performances – online and in-person – in the future.
