Through #Makespaceformusic, the venue works alongside young people, emerging artists and communities to make musical experiences that change lives, also ensuring that music is at the centre of Bristol's recovery from the pandemic.
Rising Arts Agency, who collaborated with the city centre space to bring Make Space For Rising to life, is a community of young creatives aged 16–30 mobilising others for radical social, political and cultural change.
The community is comprised of activists, producers, facilitators, illustrators, installation artists, and filmmakers, among others, desinged to empower underrepresented young people to fulfil their creative ambitions and make social change happen.
Making Space For Rising performers come from Rising Arts Agency's own talent pool, with dancer Ade Sowemimo and singers Manoel Akure and Amber-Ruth Watson all featuring before DJ Adibah delivers a set late into the night.
