‘It is time for the African-Caribbean community to carve it’s space and weave itself into Scotland’s fabric and cultural tartan.’
BE United is an arts and cultural organisation that advocates for, highlights, and celebrates African/Caribbean (Afrocentric) excellence in Scotland.
‘We stand in a unique moment of history in the making for our community and Scotland. To do this, we embrace a bold creativity and resilient tenacity grounded in trust, accountability and unconditional love for our community. We provide quality service. We lead with integrity. And we bring our uncompromising best with the highest standards of excellence. Join us and make history.’
‘BE United is living up to its founding creed and bringing people of all races, shapes and sizes together. This project has made the invisible become visible. It has given a voice to many marginalised and forgotten artists. Be United has shone a bright light on all BAME talent based in Scotland. I can’t speak highly enough of the fantastic work BE United have done to create lasting bonds between isolated artists and from those ties, an outburst of creativity is sure to follow. God bless….’
As a young creative in Scotland, collaborating with BE United on this showcase was an incredible opportunity. I felt immediately integrated into the atmosphere and a strong sense of community and support. The organisation is doing a tremendous job to lift up voices that need to be heard and I cannot wait to see where it goes in the years to come
All about the sauce
‘You can tell how passionate everyone at BE United is; it feels like you are surrounded by a team of likeminded people working towards the same goals, which is so refreshing.
