The creation of MENATMA has been greatly influenced and supported by other theatre networks of color. How can we continue to build on our connections with these networks and work together towards shared goals for our communities? Considering the intersectionality of our experiences as People of the Global Majority, how can we forge partnerships and collaborate more effectively?
