Arbeit Studios, Trowbridge Garden marks the final stop of the Creative Voices, Activist Voices exhibition tour, which is on display until 15 March.
Over the past months, the exhibition has travelled across the UK, hosted by the Swell Festival in Portrush, Northern Ireland; Macrobert Arts Centre, Stirling; Blackburn Centre for the Arts; Artsdepot, Barnet; and Greener and Cleaner, Bromley.
At each stop, people have come together to discover what others want to change, locally and more widely, and to contribute their own creative messages. The exhibition has grown through participation, conversation, and collective making, shaped by the people and places it has visited.
The evening will feature hands-on creative activities, space for conversation, and contributions from members of the research team: Dr Katy Pilcher (Aston University), Rachel Attfield (Fun Palaces Producer) and Amie Taylor (Fun Palaces Director). All talks will be BSL interpreted.

About Fun Palaces
Fun Palaces is a year-round campaign funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. On the first weekend of October every year people across the country make Fun Palaces sharing their skills, passions and interests with others. By doing so they put their town, village, city or street on the Fun Palaces map and declare ‘Culture happens here!’
This event is organised by an Arbeit Studios partner. Please refer to their website for any questions and to check the latest updates.
