Trinity Centre launch new arts project exploring visions of a post-pandemic future

Posted on: 15 Mar 2021

Members of the public are encouraged to share their ideas as we start to emerge from the coronavirus crisis.

 

The team behind leading music venue and community hub Trinity Centre have launched 'What I Want to Be, What I Want to See', a brand-new arts project exploring peoples' hopes and dreams for a new post-pandemic world.

 

Using money received as part of the UK government's Cultural Recovery Fund, the venue will be kicking things off later this month with a series of free online workshops hosted by a selection of esteemed Bristol-based artists.

 

Whether it's a drawing, a poem, a photograph or a recorded piece of performance art, Bristolians are encouraged to submit their visions and dreams for the near future, to be included in a collective piece later this year.

 

 

As part of the call-out, Trinity have teamed up with local artist Andy Council to produce a bespoke piece in his signature style to be delivered to people living near the venue in BS2.

 

Residents of Newtown and St Judes will also be visited by the newest member of the Trinity team - S.U.S.A.N.N the Socially-Distanced Robot - who'll be out on the streets collecting responses from the community on 27 and 28 March.

 

As well as talks and workshops hosted by the likes of Rider Shafique, Vanessa Kisuule and dance company Gerrys Attic, 'What I Want to Be, What I Want to See' will also feature a celebratory event to "showcase a lasting legacy of Bristol's shared ambitions for the future".

 

We've all got our ideal version of the UK's collective recovery from the pandemic - you might be dreaming of greater emphasis on community, looking for more meaningful conversations on a range of issues or pushing for people to be more conscious of the environment.

 

However you see the world changing as we emerge from the coronavirus crisis, there are likely to be others around you that share your vision.

 

To get involved in the project, you can submit your content online via the Trinity Centre website, share with the Trinity team directly on social media, share on your own social media channels with the hashtag #WhatIWant, or make a submission via email.

 

For more information on the 'What I Want to Be, What I Want to See' project, or to follow news and updates from the venue, find the Trinity Centre on Twitter.
