We’re so excited to be part of the Everyone Here Imagine festival sessions this weekend!

🎨On Sunday 26th April, drop-in between 11am - 3.30pm for ‘Rhythms of Nicholson: A Visual Poetry Workshop’ with our artist-in-residence, Celia Burbush. Listen to locally made recordings of Nicholson’s poems, and create your own visual poems using paints, stencils, paper and more to the beats of this poet’s unmistakable spoken word.

And upstairs we’ll be hosting two film and sound
installations.

🎬 ‘Here, West’ by Dave Bewick celebrates the rugged honesty and determination of this unique landscape of West Cumbria and
the people who call it home.

🔊 And in ‘Reflections’ by Jack McNeil, experience a sound table (crafted from locally sourced olive ash and Cumbrian
slate) which transforms collective feeling into a reflective sonic environment that honours place, memory, and connection from community gatherings across Flimby, Cleator Moor, and Egremont.
