Scribla is a Butetown-based creative collective which aims to establish ‘guilds’ in music and dance, visual arts, film and spoken word and create space and time to make new work with people in Butetown.

Art Shell are acting as ‘host’ for the project which is funded through the Arts Council Wales Connect and Flourish grant scheme.

The four lead members of the collective are Kyle Legall, Gavin Porter, Imran Khan and Samatar Elmi and each will develop work in their fields of expertise – Music composition, Animation, Poetry, Film, Documentary and Theatre.

For this first year-long project Scribla Collective will be re-imagining ways of presenting the story of Butetown/Tiger Bay & immigration to Wales.

Throughout the year Kyle, Imran, Sami and Gavin will create opportunities to collaborate with each other, as well as work with other artists, community members and organisations including The Heritage & Cultural Exchange
