About
In 2017 Cabraich based in the Isle of Lewis, was re branded as Cabraich Community Arts, Heritage and Learning
Cabraich initial began as a collaboration between a number of local people with a shared interest in history, research,film, and stories. Our aim is to create a body of work which reflects the contemporary realities of a culture and language with deep historical roots, facing a time of great change. The group, formed in 2010 with the bare minimum of resources, has quickly gained a reputation in the community for producing work that informs, entertains and provokes discussion and debate.
We are able to draw on a pool of talented individuals: writers, singers, musicians, poets, performers and technicians who share our commitment to produce events and products, that has genuine relevance to the lives of people in the Hebrides and beyond.
