Bri antia Creative Limited Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022 Highlightèd Projècts Spring= The Batley Mural Project was born out of an idea by local businesses in partnership with Redbrick Mill Artists Collective. The company secured funds through Kirklees Council 's heART your town. project, which supported the opening LJP of town centres in the sutllrner of 2021, to develop new public art works in key locations acro55 the town. The Joy Project.. was the first commission,. through a series ol workshops young people were inspired by artist Emmeline North to create their own designs using block printing and pattern to create an exhibition on the concourse al B8tley Raihvay station. Their work influenoed and sat alongside Ernrneline's own striking painting that fills the ndow and door panels at the station. The artist worked wth the group of boys in their school, taking the architecture of 8atley as a therne. Thi5 was the first pr8Ctical creative activity they had engaged in in 2 years due to lockdown. Their teachers comrnented repeatedly on how much the boys were enjoying the sessions and appreciating the opportunity to engage practically in arts activity inspired by their town. The inspiration they took Iiom this was evident in the quality of their own paintings and their excilernenl lo sh8re their work publicly. The work was 18un¢hed wlh 8 day of adivity including a lour of the artwork ft>r local schoo15 and tnusic from The Ski Band. Well Connected.. As a consortiurll member of the Thriving Communities project. led by Kirklees Third Sector Leaders. we developed and delivered a range of new creative opportunities to support social prescribing, and enhance opportunities for people experiencing 50ci81 isolation after COVID.. -Sewin inners." Women of South Asian heritage joined these weekly women-only sessions in our workshop space in the centre of Dew5bury. They were keen lo learn new slilches and there was clear progression in their skills week by week. They made the space their home and were inspired to embroider their own letters to create the word UNION 8$ 8 gift lo the building. -Writin foi Well-bein . Women who had written in the past joined the sessions because they had been finding It difficult lo find the inspiration and desire to write again. They used the sessions to relax and talk about their writing projects and took prompts home that inspired them and unlocked their writing. -Dro in and Do.. The participants in these craft sessions used different tools and equipment and were inspired to create items that were either useful or giftable. They were deady proud of their creations as they weie looking forward to gifting them to family and friends. The majority of partiapanls told us they didnl usually engage with arts activities. and feedback from the venue was that the users of their facilities are often are on lower incomes and so have fewer opportunities to engag8 in cultur81 activity. OUT Place.. with Kirklees Cultural Education Partnership'Evoke' for the Children's Art Biennale Through a series of workshops children and young people created an exhibition in the windows of a 'meanwhile space'_ a foirnei shop unit- In the centie of Dewsbury. Thi5 was presented throughout a week and included 2 day5 of activity at the weekend with live music and chalk painting to create a giant pavement artwork. The artists developed an ideas pack and provided materials and guidance for each child to create their own miniature model from recycled materials, of a place they had missed during lockdown. As well as activity during dass lime, children took their models home during half tem to work on them and family members joined in. They also produced a piece of creative wrrting on why they had chosen it. The different models, including a rerycling plant, houses, schools, restauiant5. mosques, were all brought together to create a 3D miniature townscape. A selection ol models and writings were included in a publication distributed to those who took part. Children We￿ inspired to create something new from the theme and this was evident in the qu81ity of their models 8nd creative writing. Friendship Through Puppets= A partnership with refuge arts and Holocaust remembrance charity 6Million+ Through a series of workshops refugees, students, artists and local people created a parade took place in Dewsbury and Balley town Trnlies. It fealuied seven giant Weeping Sisters puppets rernetmbering the lives lost in the Holocaust and other genoades around the world. Together the group was inspired tocreate a new Syrian sister for the parade and learn new street perfomance skills induding stilt walking and puppet operation to tell these vital stories. The inspiration was clear in their determination to conquer new skills and perforrn in a public arena. Participants often joined this project because they had a connection with the subject matter with many from Syrian, Bosnian and Kurdish backgrounds. Some have their own arts practice. often music, from their culture that they don't often get th8 chance to share wth others. Others are new to creative activities, particularfy since entering the UK as they don't know how to access activities or feel uncomfortable travelling to unknown places. Page e
