So proud that Solent Showcase was part of organising the @Manifestingtheunseen collective exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery in 2021. The first Islamic art exhibition of women artists in the city @SouthamptonCit2 @ArtGallerySoton @SouthamptonCC @ace_national @SolentUni
Interesting hearing about how the data from our consultation sessions for the #southampton2025 bid came together to inform the programming from archaeologist academic @FSturt - #southamptonforward conference @SOCultureTrust

ART TO GO sees people coming together during lockdown, driven by the desire to reach children in care at risk of exclusion from digital content who might not have online access. We partnered up with other orgs in the city to make the project a reality bit.ly/3Yu6wk2
Our 2019 show 'Rebel Music' explored the impact of Jamaican music on British culture & the story of the ‘Shebeens’ or ‘Blues’ clubs that were a key part of Soton’s music scene in the 70s and 80s. Screening the amazing film 'Bass Culture' by @MykaellRiley bit.ly/3Yl6FGF
We started working with Soton #UKCityofCulture2025 bid in summer of 2020 lockdown as the Programming & Community Engagement team. It has and continues to be a great journey, and we're #SOproud to have contributed to such a great result from @ace_national 👉bit.ly/3JxDmwn
With an initially BARE gallery, our @ace_national funded show 'Stand Together' saw artist @kevmunday gradually cover our gallery walls with work by the public & artist. The stories of what and who people chose to ‘Stand Together’ for were deeply moving bit.ly/3JhIwfK
The next conference for change, culture and raising Soton's profile is here! #SouthamptonForward gets us together again & continue to find those collaborations, co-creations and inspirations! @SOCultureTrust Free tickets 👉bit.ly/3DgqYNf 9th Feb @MASTStudios & @solentuni

How wonderful that our joyful project from 2015 sparked this wonderful response! We were so hopeful that policy makers and local leaders would take it up.’Benches are an open gesture of welcome,an invitation to linger’ @clarerishbeth @rogaly JasberSingh @CoventryCAWR @DianaComan
Our 2020 project 'BENCH' infused a seemingly unimportant object with new significance, re-establishing the bench as an object that contributes to the rhythm of a city. Inspired by 'Manifesto for the Good Bench' by @radhikabynon & @clarerishbeth bit.ly/3LLWRAj
