welcome
Last week, we were saddened and disappointed to learn that our application for Creative Scotland's new Multi-Year Funding programme had not been successful. Over the coming weeks, we will seek to better understand this decision.
Despite our own news, we were pleased to see the variety of creative organisations now supported through Multi-Year Funding. We particularly recognise the importance of Creative Scotland's determination to offer substantial multi-year support to smaller artist-led companies, which will enable transformative change for the sustainability of creative careers seen nowhere else in the UK.
About us
Two Destination Language makes bold, ambitious, award-winning work about identity and community. We employ innovative artistic forms to cross cultural, social, economic and geographic barriers, celebrating difference and placing the lives of those we work with at the heart of everything we do. Rooted in dialogue and collaboration, we believe in the transformative power of art to change how we see ourselves and the society we share. Our work brings people together in new, unexpected ways, creating shared spaces for reflection and mutual understanding.
Led by Katherina Radeva and Alister Lownie, Two Destination Language's work forms three strands of work - theatre work for stage, community co-creation projects and peer to peer curation and knowledge exchange projects.
Two Destination Language is migrant and desalbled-led registered charity committed to promoting the arts as a vital part of societal wellbeing, challenging populist ideas, reaching audience members from under-represented groups and supporting artists in every way we can.
