Your chance to be part of a new major arts project, putting communities at the heart of the high street
Bermondsey Project Space is working on a year-long series of arts festivals throughout 2024 in collaboration with Southwark Council and the Thriving High Streets Fund. The THR!VE Festivals are focused on nurturing emerging talent and supporting communities to be part of their local high streets through arts and culture.
Ruth and Maya are the first two interns BPS is working with to develop a week-long festival programme in early March 2024. Here’s a bit about them:
– Maya is a sound & visual artist and curator from South East London, mainly playing colourful post punk and working with sculpture. She’s interested in different manifestations of punk spirit and aims to facilitate space that allows for it. The foundation of her sculptural language is based around willing physical worlds into existence and engaging people in some way.
Maya wants this THR!VE festival to be an explorative and nurturing space for people to engage with different sound and visual practices, nature and other.
– Ruth is a multidisciplinary designer from Leeds, and now based in Southwark, who creates work surrounding themes of belonging and cultural identity through analogue and digital means. Her work includes but is not limited to photography, animation, print, textiles, illustration, and graphic design.
Ruth is interested in connecting with the local community and would love to hold some practical workshops at BPS. It would be great to be able to hold space for solidarity and to work within the space to create something together.
