🌎 PEOPLE

The next flavour we’re exploring as part of our October Tasting Season.

For us, PEOPLE is about solidarity, agency + collective power - how we show up for one another, share knowledge, build relationships and create opportunities that might not otherwise exist.

It’s about more than bringing people together. It’s about what becomes possible when people have the space, resources and relationships to shape things for themselves and each other.

This week, we’re exploring PEOPLE through creativity, photography, storytelling, shared learning and celebration.

🎨 MON 26 OCT · EACH1 TEACH1 · 10.30AM-3.30PM

Honouring Those Who Opened the Door

We’re supporting @each1teach1_workshops by making 10 free spaces available for children aged 6-13.

A day of creativity and shared learning, celebrating the unsung heroes in our families and communities who opened doors for future generations.

📸 TUE 27 OCT · SNAPPED MARGATE: PEOPLE · 10AM-12PM

Photography, conversation + the growing Snapped Margate archive.

PEOPLE + JOY · OPEN TO EVERYONE

A beautiful moment to bring our October Tasting Season to a close. A day of creativity, food, activities, connection and plenty of joy.

This one is for everyone. Our Black, Brown + Global Majority communities, our neighbours, friends, families and allies. Whether you’ve been part of PDC for years or are curious to come through for the first time, you’re welcome.

Come eat with us, meet people, explore the space and celebrate the month we’ve shared together.

Introducing PEOPLE 🌎

Continuing our exploration of the five pillars at the heart of People Dem Collective - LAND, SEA, PEOPLE, HEALING and JOY - we’re turning to PEOPLE.

For PDC, PEOPLE is about solidarity, agency and collective power.

We believe in the power of people coming together, sharing knowledge, supporting one another and creating opportunities that might not otherwise exist.

But it’s about more than bringing people together. It’s about creating the space, relationships and resources for people to develop their ideas, nurture their creativity and shape what comes next.

Meaningful community building takes time, trust and care. It’s about creating opportunities for people not just to participate, but to contribute, influence and feel a genuine sense of belonging.

For Black, Brown and Diaspora communities, access to cultural spaces, resources and opportunities isn’t always equal. We’re interested in what becomes possible when people have the freedom, support and confidence to create on their own terms.

As PDC grows towards a permanent home, PEOPLE will remain at the heart of how we build - investing in relationships, sharing resources and creating space for our communities to shape their own futures.

More solidarity.
More agency.
More collective power.

At the heart of it all is a question:

What becomes possible when we have the power to shape it together?

Introducing SEA 🌊

Continuing our exploration of the five pillars at the heart of People Dem Collective - LAND, SEA, PEOPLE, HEALING and JOY - we’re turning to SEA.

For PDC, SEA is about memory, movement and nourishment.

The sea holds histories of ancestral movement, migration and displacement, but also creativity, resistance, freedom and possibility.

Being based in Margate invites us to think about whose histories are remembered, who gets to experience the coast, and how we connect communities who live here, visit and return.

For Black, Brown and Diaspora communities, the sea also connects us to generations who found rest, freedom and joy along the coast.

We’ve been exploring these ideas through our work, from creating space for community organisers to rest, reconnect and find nourishment by the sea, to welcoming young creatives from South London through our Emerging Creatives residency.

These experiences remind us that the sea is more than a backdrop. It’s a place for reflection, connection, creativity and collective care.

As PDC grows, SEA will guide how we connect people, histories and nature, creating opportunities for more communities to experience the coast as a place of belonging and possibility.

More memory. More movement. More nourishment.

At the heart of it all is a question:

How can we care for our coast, honour its histories and create new possibilities for future generations?

Swipe through to explore SEA with us. 🌊

Throughout October, we’re inviting you to join the exploration. Our SEA programme will be announced later today - keep an eye out! 👀

📸 Introducing SNAPPED Margate

Snapped Margate grew out of Emerging Creatives, a week-long residency designed and hosted by People Dem Collective, bringing together eight young artists aged 18–23 from South London, all alumni of the AMT Youth Programme (AMTYP), created and run by Alice Walsh.

As part of the residency, PDC resident artist Jas Dhillon @jasbir3 brought SNAPPED into the process, creating photographic prompts around our five pillars - Land, Healing, Sea, People + Joy.

The artists explored, felt, witnessed + captured Margate through their own eyes. A curated selection of those images became SNAPPED Margate.

And now, we’re opening up the invitation.

Throughout October, our Tuesday SNAPPED gatherings invite our Black, Brown + Global Majority local community to explore each pillar together through photography + conversation.

🌍 Online, the invitation is open to everyone, wherever you are.

Respond to any of our five pillars through your eyes, experiences + everyday moments.

One image. One pillar. Your perspective.

📸 Tuesdays - Black, Brown + Global Majority community
🌍 Online submissions - open to everyone
🔗 Submit + book via the link in bio

We can’t wait to see what these pillars hold for you.

Introducing LAND 🌱

Over the coming month, we’re opening up the five pillars at the heart of People Dem Collective; LAND, SEA, PEOPLE, HEALING and JOY - sharing what they mean to us, how they’ve shaped our work, and how they’ll guide where we go next.

First up: LAND.

For People Dem Collective, LAND is about sovereignty, equity and belonging.

It holds memory, ancestry, culture, nature, care and possibility.

We’re interested in the ways Black, Brown and Diaspora communities have created and held their own spaces, resources and infrastructure - places for care, nourishment, culture and collective possibility.

We also think about LAND as a living system. Roots, soil, mycelium and everything happening beneath the surface remind us that thriving doesn’t happen alone. It relies on relationships, networks, shared resources and the right conditions to grow.

Now, throughout October, we’re opening the exploration up to you.

Through photography, conversation, collage, drawing and making, we’ll be thinking together about LAND, ownership, place and belonging, and asking what our future spaces could make possible.

At the heart of it all is one question:

What do our communities need to put down roots, have agency and thrive?

We look forward to welcoming you and to exploring together.

🌞 The May that felt like July!

I’m about to go into hospital for a procedure, the start of June will be spent in rest and recovery, so I’m grateful to have spent May growing things, in all forms, mainly in groups, with very lovely people. 🍓 Kind, kind, very kind, loving people.

And daily listening to @olafurarnalds on BBC Sounds - highly recommended. Particularly ‘To bring Calm amidst the Chaos’ and ‘Nordic Wilderness’ lists.

Farage and Yaxley-Lennon could never.

Loved making this custom FOLD RING 🔥✨

This ring is Unique, One of a kind. With the shape, size and proportions custom made for the very lovely @jasbir3

She had seen some of my FOLD rings and wanted one just for herself. I played around with shapes and a variety of folds until she felt there was one that felt just right.

All the fold rings and earrings are one of a kind, no two are the same. I often find there’s one that really calls you and suits you best.

If you’re interested in your own custom FOLD ring or piece of jewellery please feel free to reach out and I can make one with the folds that feels just right for you.

Two weeks ago we had to cut short our celebrations of our 5th birthday due to our emergency fundraising efforts. Thankfully, with your help, we managed to reach our target which was incredible!

We wanted to resume the last part of our look back at the work we have done and the artists we’ve worked with to bring us up to date with the present. We want to thank everyone who’s supported us and everyone we’ve worked with over the past 5 years. It’s been amazing. We’re excited about the next chapters coming up for Quench Gallery and we hope you will be too. Let’s look over 2025 and 2026! Xxx

Today I want to give a deep, heartfelt shout-out to the incredible women in my life. 🌹
.

The ones who uplift, encourage, challenge, inspire, and hold space with so much grace and power. The ones who reminded me of my worth, celebrated my wins, and stood beside me through the moments that asked for courage and growth. Big shout to my mother, my sister my cousins my auntie my grandmother all the women in my bloodline. All the women that stand with me today and make me a better man.
.

It’s such a pleasure and a privilege that through the work I do, I get to hold space and facilitate spaces where the divine feminine can move, express, heal, and rise.
Through my upbringing, I’ve been blessed to witness so many beautiful examples of how the divine feminine truly lives and shows up in the world. The way she holds a family, a unit, a community, a tribe together with love, wisdom, resilience, and deep care. That energy has shaped me, inspired me, and continues to guide the work I share.
.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I honour you.�Your voice.�Your resilience.�Your beauty.�Your brilliance.
.

If u were ever curious what my name ‘Shaktidas’ meant it translates as the supporter/steward/servant of the SHAKTI - divine feminine

And I’m incredibly proud and excited to present this year’s Somatic Dance Convention, where so many powerful expressions of the divine feminine will be sharing their gifts, their purpose, and their mission through deeply inspiring sessions.
.
Come witness, celebrate, and experience these incredible women in their Magick!!!
gratitude, light, and bliss. ✨
