NOMADS

We are 432Nomads

Voices of resilience, art, and belonging. Through every verse and vision, we reclaim identity and build sanctuary. Rooted. Bold. Unforgettable. Through art, we find each other, migrants, dreamers, fighters, painting hope where silence once lived.

Refugee Week 2025

Community as a Superpower. Join us for a vibrant citywide celebration of culture, creativity, and community as Portsmouth marks Refugee Week 2025. Under this year’s national theme “Community as a Superpower”, events will explore the power of connection through art, music, storytelling, and food.

Without Culture

A Virtual Reality Journey
What if your culture was erased?
In collaboration with migrants, poets, and digital artists, this virtual reality experience invites you into the emotional reality of displacement. Witness what it means to lose home, language, and self, then rebuild through art, memory, and voice.
Arctic Peoples and 'man's best friend'.

If Life is Art then
Art is Life

The challenge

For too long, the voices of migrants, refugees, and the displaced have been silenced or overshadowed. Cultures that carry ancient rhythms and rich histories are boxed into headlines or ignored entirely. In a world that often sees migrants as statistics or strangers, the deep emotional truths behind their journeys are lost. But what if we could tell these stories through art? What if every struggle could become a verse, every loss a painting, every hope a shared performance?

The initiative

432 Nomads rises as a sanctuary for expression a collective built by and for those in movement. Here, art becomes a language that transcends borders.
Poetry becomes a protest.
Paintings become passports.
And music becomes a meeting ground for cultures.
We host school projects, expressive workshops, collaborative exhibitions, and soul-deep performances not just as art events, but as acts of cultural preservation and emotional healing.

The impact

Through collaborations with councils, galleries, schools, and grassroots organizations, 432 Nomads is shifting narratives. We're not just building stages; we’re building bridges.
From Portsmouth to the world, the stories we share are shaping how communities see migrants not as outsiders, but as creators, educators, and cultural leaders. We are empowering the next generation to reclaim their identities and tell their truths with pride.
