Community arts activities in Cheshire East

Future Ruins: project introduction

Mark Devereux Projects (www.markdevereuxprojects.com) are working with artist Anna Horton Cremin (www.annahortoncremin.com) on a new community project, Future Ruins. We are currently in the process of applying for funding to work with communities in Cheshire East. We would appreciate your time, comments and feedback to support this project.

Underpinned by themes of climate change, ruins and future world-building, Future Ruins aims to stimulate conversation, artistic making and future action. Led by artist Anna Horton Cremin, the project will take place at Wild Rumpus (wildrumpus.org.uk) and include: collaborative making, discussions with local communities & stakeholders and a 3-day community festival, presenting work from the project.

We will invite residents, community groups, businesses and local authorities from the region to develop new approaches for how an adventure playground could stimulate change and help us imagine the future in the wake of the impending climate catastrophe. We will help children and adults explore ideas of the future and how we will build a more hopeful world. By bringing communities together, we hope to enact a small-level positive change in our attitudes towards recycling, reducing carbon emissions and nurturing our natural environments.

For further information, please visit our website or email mark@markdevereuxprojects.com.

Many thanks for your time - the survey should only take no more than 5 minutes.
