Welcome to our Cultural Page! Here you will find information about our exciting Communities & Cultures Programme.
Our Programme aims to empower, celebrate and give visibility to the creativity of the Latin American communities. We establish dialogues about topics that are relevant and open safe spaces to get together, share ideas and build community.
There is something here for everyone, and everyone is welcome!
Want to collaborate with us? Check our Collaborate with us section and contact cultures@casalatina.org.uk
We are seeking volunteers to join our Communities & Cultures Department at Latin American House.
As a volunteer, you’ll have the incredible satisfaction of knowing you’re contributing to the better integration of Latin American immigrants in London. In addition, you’ll learn valuable new skills, knowledge of event production and strategic programming, make new friendships, and be part of an amazing group of people!
Last year, as part of a project titled Hilando Mesas, Latin American House welcomed people from across the globe to share their food traditions. This beautiful zine, designed by Sin Tesis Studio, presents the recipes and people involved. Enjoy!
During 2023 we will ONLY be assessing project proposals that fit within one or more of our Programme Priorities of the year:
Improve the mental health of the Latin American communities.
Improve the social and cultural integration of the Latin American communities in London.
Strengthen and expand Latin American House’s impact and presence in London beyond Kilburn.
Promotion of the cultural, artistic and scientific contributions of Latin Americans to broader audiences.
Project proposals that do not fit these criteria will not be considered at this time.
Do you have an artistic, creative or cultural project you want us to get involved in? We are excited to hear from you! We especially welcome proposals that align with LAH’s values and objectives and that contribute to improving the lives of Latin American people in the UK.
