MAFWA
Leeds
Mafwa Theatre is a community theatre company created in February 2018 and incorporated as a CIC in October 2019.
Mafwa is made up of refugees, asylum seekers and settled communities. They use drama, movement and voice to create work that speaks truth to power, using their platform to highlight artists and theatre makers from migrant backgrounds, advocate for migrant rights and celebrate diverse communities.
12 artist-led spaces based across England are to receive over £100,000 in seed funding from East Street Arts, an organisation that has been supporting artists for 30 years.
