On November 15, 2025, Swansea hosted the inaugural Legacy Voice Experience, a landmark cultural event dedicated to regeneration through creativity, performance, and community participation.
The event brought together artists exclusively from underrepresented communities with a focus on blacks in diaspora, offering a platform for spoken word, live performance, and immersive storytelling.
By curating voices often left unheard, the event positioned Swansea as a hub for cultural renewal and inclusivity, while contributing to the UK’s wider reputation for artistic innovation and leadership.
The Founder & Creative Director Olusola Ige, described the event as “a movement to build cultural legacy and inspire pride of place.” The launch marks the beginning of a long term initiative to embed regeneration and inclusivity into Wales’ cultural fabric, with international recognition already underway.
