Beyond the Bassline
Monday 29 April - Friday 10 May
Atrium
In partnership with the British Library, this exhibition offers a look into their flagship Beyond the Bassline exhibition in London. The exhibition shines a spotlight on different voices and perspectives to celebrate Black British music as a form of entertainment and vehicle for community, as well as a source of liberation, protest and education. Stepping into carnivals, clubs and record shops across the country, Beyond the Bassline draws on different places that have cultivated creative expression and inspired a number of Black British music genres.
See The Person, Not The Dementia
Monday 13 - Sunday 19 May
Atrium
This powerful exhibition by Age UK Hereford & Worcester aims not only to highlight the impact of dementia on individuals but to also offer a poignant glimpse into its profound effects on families and the broader community. Through art, they hope to unveil the many aspects of dementia, demonstrating the resilience, creativity and stories of those affected, their loved ones and the community at large.
The charity hopes that launching the exhibition will help spread further awareness of dementia and enable everybody to honour the resilience of those impacted, helping to shape more compassion around the subject within the local community.
Creativity Gives Us A New Form of Life
