Our 2022/23 Impact Report
2022/23 was a year when we really invested in our work with Children, Families and Young People through our some really interesting projects that centred youth voices and decision making.
PRIMEdesign supported young skaters to explore visual culture, heritage programming, enterprise development and to commission skateable sculptures with Bedir Bekar and Dani Abulhawa.
Our Crazy Glue work continued across 4 core schools and and re-delivered our Plain Speaking Tours programme for British Art Show 9, democratising gallery and museum white cube experiences by removing art speak and leading on tours about how art makes people feel.
We completed the Travelling Museum of Communities with lead artist Thomas Goddard and Far Flung Dance Theatre where we looked at the lack of material culture our museum and created our own travelling museum supporting community heritage and crossing the city on our cargo bike Travelling Museum.
