Womad Ltd: Celebrating Diversity through Music, Arts, and Culture
Womad Ltd is a UK-based organization that has been promoting cultural diversity through music, arts, and culture for over three decades. Founded in 1982 by Peter Gabriel and a group of like-minded individuals who believed in the power of music to bring people together, Womad has since grown into a global movement that celebrates the richness and diversity of world cultures.
Every year, Womad hosts a series of festivals around the world where artists from different countries come together to perform and share their unique talents with audiences. The flagship event is held annually at Charlton Park in England during the last weekend of July. This year's festival will take place from 28th to 31st July 2022.
Womad's mission is to create an inclusive space where people from all walks of life can come together to celebrate their differences while also discovering what unites them. Through its festivals, workshops, talks, and other events, Womad aims to promote cross-cultural understanding and respect while also showcasing some of the most exciting musical acts from around the globe.
One thing that sets Womad apart from other music festivals is its commitment to sustainability. The organization works hard to minimize its environmental impact by using renewable energy sources wherever possible and encouraging attendees to reduce waste by bringing reusable water bottles and food containers.
Another unique aspect of Womad is its focus on community engagement. In addition to hosting concerts featuring world-renowned musicians such as Youssou N'Dour, Salif Keita or Angélique Kidjo , Womad also offers workshops where attendees can learn about different cultures through dance classes or cooking demonstrations led by experts in their fields.
