About Us
The Latinxs Collective came together organically amongst latinx students seeking to connect: from simply speaking our own languages to sharing our journeys through London as artists.
Initially a facebook group, the collective met for the first time, and this led to the realization that although there were many of us studying in UAL, our community had no formal space to gather and represent. Therefore, we independently created the Latinos Collective in 2017. Later, we formally became a society within the Arts Student Union. Since then, we have been active through different events such as: art exhibitions, film screenings, literary exchanges, panel discussions to name a few.
Our sense of collaboration, heritage and artistic capabilities continue to unite us and drive us to leave our mark on UAL.
Mission Statement
The Latinxs Collective is a meeting point/hub for the latinx, lusophone and hispanic speaking community within University of the Arts London. We encourage identity expression, multicultural exchange, and collaboration whilst sharing creative practices.
El Latinxs Collective es un punto de encuentro para la comunidad de habla latina, lusófona e hispana dentro de la Universidad de las Artes de Londres. Fomentamos el desarrollo de identidad, la interculturalidad y la colaboración entre las distintas expresiones artísticas presentes en nuestro ambiente creativo.
