The project welcomes people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to share and celebrate their cultures, connect with natural and historic heritage and build stronger ties to land and community.  We want people to be able to find a new sense of place and belonging in Shropshire.

Who are we?

The project was led by:

Andrew Howe – artist working in sound, painting, printmaking, and other media

Jill Impey – artist working in video, sound and printmaking

Jean Atkin – poet and writer

What did we do?

The project artists invited people from different community groups to work with them to share stories using writing, sounds, art, photographs. 

The group(s) learned about local history and nature through walking the land, learning from local historians, sharing oral histories and co-creating art.  There were opportunities to share food, stories and music at places in the landscape and at indoor venues.
