Beyond Skin Northern IrelandID: 12416

Beyond Skin was established in 2004 to use the arts to address sectarianism and the rise in racism. Since then, the cultural make-up of Northern Ireland has changed dramatically, which in turn has produced many problems. Beyond Skin works to address these problems and to use the arts & media as its main vehicle.

Key objectives:

• To address racism and sectarianism in Northern Ireland through multicultural arts
• To promote positive attributes reflected from a society made up of different cultures
• To promote multicultural arts for the benefit of the inhabitants of Northern Ireland
• To promote racial harmony and the exchange of cultural ideas and relations through the medium of the arts
• To contribute to maintaining a peaceful society in Northern Ireland
• To increase social awareness of different cultures within Northern Ireland
• To increase links between communities from different cultural backgrounds
• To present, promote, organise, manage and produce performances and exhibitions of works of cultural and educational value

We have developed our 4 main flagship services

• Multi-cultural music collective, The Motion Project,
• The cultural music and educational radio broadcast station, Homely Planet. 
• WORLD MUSIC NI , promoting world music in Northern Ireland
• Beyond Skin Global, using art and media to explore global dimensions
