Nima, who traces her path as a DJ and producer back to her roots, to the sounds her parents played when she was a child, and the small details that shaped her rhythm. A reminder that identity is the first instrument we ever learn to play.

Amber, Dee, and Nima reflect on how food becomes a language of its own, carrying memories, love, and the essence of their cultures. A shared meal becomes more than sustenance; it’s a bridge between stories, a universal way of sayingI see you, I care for you.

Nima, Dee, and Amber reflect on how their places of origin shaped who they are , the values, rhythms, and resilience they carry. Living in London has expanded those roots, teaching them openness, curiosity, and the beauty of belonging everywhere and nowhere at once.

Maria, one of the founders of @casa___agape , whose reflections on home, heritage, and the creative force of her parents are a quiet, powerful reminder that roots aren’t something you leave behind , they’re something you build from.

These are some of the kids we’ve been working with in Carapongo - This video was part of Studio Afuera x La Granni Calendar, a project that turned creativity into action by donating school kits to the community.
They’re being relocated now, so the workshops are on pause, to be continued.
