Inspiring change

We produce art as an instrument to provoke, move and initiate social change.

Pauhana are a community centred arts organisation in the Midlands. We celebrate an evolving cultural practice that pushes the boundaries for diverse arts, culture and heritage.

We create exciting visual and performance-based experiences, giving people a space to explore and share their stories.

We make and seek out new work that inspires, entertains and benefits local people in our community.

We create opportunities for individuals and communities to participate and engage in culturally diverse arts, culture and heritage.

We build and maintain relationships with isolated South Asian elders in the Midlands.

We empower disadvantaged groups, young people and their families, supporting their skills development through creative stimuli.
