📢 Now on display in the window on Duke Street: The Snail and the Mannequin by photographer Emma Collins.

The selected images comes from 'The Snail and the Mannequin' - Emma's photographic series that transforms familiar domestic spaces into quietly surreal scenes. By bringing together everyday objects, people, and elements of the natural world, the work encourages us to pause, look again, and discover the unexpected within the ordinary.

Emma was selected for The In Between Gallery through the Resonance exhibition open call, produced in partnership with The Sussex Contemporary.

🌍 This - join us for an evening of film, conversation and celebration.

We're proud to host the closing event of Sama Brighton Film Festival with a special screening of Bauryna Salu - an acclaimed coming-of-age story exploring identity, family and belonging.

Following the film, stay for a live Q&A with producer Dias Feld and help us celebrate the end of a festival dedicated to amplifying the voices of displaced, diasporic and underrepresented filmmakers.

As we mark Refugee Week, we're reminded of the power of storytelling to build connection, understanding and community. Through film, we can share experiences, challenge perspectives and celebrate the diverse voices that enrich our city.

On , we’re spotlighting Three Tenses: The Whitehawk Great Map 🎨

Now on display at Wellsbourne Healthcare CIC, this collaborative artwork was created by 73 children and young people from Whitehawk as part of a creative project led by Fabrica and Wellsbourne Healthcare CIC with artist Dan Thompson.

Through workshops at The Crew Club and Whitehawk Library, young participants explored their experiences of Whitehawk through art, storytelling and map-making - sharing memories, ideas and imagined futures for their community.

Part of the national touring exhibition Make now, think later, the project celebrates creativity, place and young people’s voices ❤️
