Cambridge Creative Encounters 17 – 28 March 2023 Cambridge Festival
Exhibition Venue: Friar House, 2a Free School Lane, Cambridge CB2 3QA
Join us for a unique exhibition of art and design creations that showcase some of the world’s most burning questions in novel and creative ways. We challenged our researchers to work with creative professionals to rethink the ways they communicate their research, by means of artistic practice, graphic design, illustration, poetry, performance, photography, animation and moving image. The Free exhibition running between 17th -28th March invites audiences to explore and discover the rich topics represented in the heart of Cambridge at The Friar House. Launch event and private view is open to all who would like to find more about behind the scenes of these exciting series of work. Open to all!
Making Peace to a Song: A Spoken Word Movement
Join us for the sharing of a new short film "Making Peace to a Song" celebrating the relationship of the Spoken Word and the body’s response, created as part of the Creative Partnership, Cambridge Creative Encounters. Theatre practitioner Rachel Ellis and her students at CSVPA created a film "Making Peace to a Song", weaving movement, poetry & soundscape in response to education research and poetry by Dr Dita N. Love. The project highlights the healing power of creative community based on mutually transformative education research with imprisoned young men. The partnership also includes CSVPA MA graduates Lois Fordham and Razaq Bolarinwa (filmmaker/photographer). The poetic choreography brings to life the ‘truth of the body’ to honour the truth of experience, resist stigma, and inspire loving care for young lives.
Launch event, Thursday, 16th March, 17:30-19:30, Zoology Museum, Whale café, with performances and panel discussion.
Exhibition Private view, Thursday 16th March, 19:00 -20:00, The Friar House. To find out more, visit: https://www.festival.cam.ac.uk/events/cambridge-creative-encounters. Open to All!
