Meet Kulchalee

I'm Kulchalee, founder of Kulchalee Arts.

As a cultural diversity artist, educator, and mentor with over 40 years of experience, I use art, storytelling, performance, and education to celebrate African and Caribbean heritage. Through workshops, community projects, and cultural events, I help people of all ages explore history, creativity, and identity.

I've delivered arts, cultural, and educational workshops across the UK, Europe, Africa, and Jamaica, working with schools, charities, festivals, libraries, cultural institutions, and community organisations.

“Our Story in Motion: A Testimonial of Kulchalee Arts’ Work in the gloucester library Windrush Project”

This video, “Windrush Commemoration 2025”, is a moving and beautifully produced commemoration of Windrush, highlighting the legacy, stories, and cultural impact of the Windrush generation. Windrush Commemoration 2025

I’m proud that this video showcases some of the work of Kulchalee Arts, capturing moments and projects that reflect our mission of cultural connection, storytelling, and artistic expression. It was a genuine pleasure to be a part of this Windrush documentary and to contribute to its vision.

Stonecast model art workshops

African and Caribbean Stonecast Art Model Workshops act as a form of Art Therapy that helps participants’ emotional, social well-being, and their cultural diversity education. I was inspired to create this workshop in 1983, I use my own adaptation of latex moulds to create stonecast models that cover a variety of themes, including the African, Caribbean, and British culture from the present and historically.
Each participant will get to decorate their own pre-made stonecast model using acrylic paints and metallic gilding creams. Models will be completed and dried within the session, enabling participants to either take home or exhibit them.
