Episode Notes for the Share Your Secrets Podcast Season 3, including useful links to resources.
ArtsEkta is a multi award winning cultural organisation that works to develop intercultural relationships at the heart of the community and is home to the Belfast Mela – the largest celebration of cultural diversity on the island of Ireland.
The brain-child of Indian-native Nisha Tandon, ArtsEkta was founded in 2006 on the principles of inclusivity, creativity and openness in all aspects of society – Ekta means ‘uniting’ in the Indian language.
Bringing together communities of Belfast and beyond, they create projects that inspire audiences to engage with the diversity, tastes, rhythms and sights that make up the multicultural life of Northern Ireland.
ArtsEkta worked with us on our third cookbook, Secret Dishes From Around the World 3. They commissioned the fantastic artist Rong-Gen Yin to create a painting for the project.
