Collective Roots: Creating a sense of belonging in a changing borough

Wednesday 28 August 2024 at 2:00PM
Sutton Central Library

Event Concluded

Event Description

Have you ever stopped to think about what connects us to our community & the place we live? This summer, we invite Sutton residents to explore this question through creative activities & conversations. Multiple workshops, led by local artists, will provide a welcoming space for you to connect with fellow community members, exchange stories & unleash your creativity. The results of these workshops will come together in an exhibition this Autumn, that showcases our collective creativity & spirit of our community.

We're reaching out to all corners of our diverse community & inviting everyone to come together & share their stories, perspectives & ideas. All ages welcome, including anyone from newcomers to the borough, to lifelong Suttoners! If you're keen to dive into what it means to belong to our Borough through creativity & contribute to the exhibition, book your place at one of our workshops.

The workshops will take place at libraries & heritage sites across the Borough, with the exhibition taking place at Sutton Central Library in September.

This project is funded by the Europe Challenge & delivered by Arts Network Sutton in partnership with The London Borough of Sutton.
