Creative Communities are excited to announce that our Community Artist Residency at the Involve Centre in Hunslet, has started.
The artist, Rozi Fuller is based at Involve until mid December, collaborating with residents of Hunslet to create a lasting piece of artwork.
The artwork will focus on the theme of Pride and Place, using the ideas, stories and contributions of all interested members of the community.
Rozi is facilitating art sessions on Tuesdays 2-4pm at Involve, where the Heritage Cafe is also taking place. Everyone is welcome to drop in to join in with the art or come and share their stories about South Leeds and people can participate for as long as they’d like to. Rozi will also be out and about visiting groups and other centres over the course of the residency.
Rozi’s background covers many areas of art and animation. She works in many different mediums, including photography, mark-making, collage and animation and creates artworks for a variety of contexts, such as for TV and stage, as well as in participatory projects with community groups.
If you’d like to find out about other ways you can get involved in the work Rozi’s doing, please contact creative.communities@swarthmore.org.uk or phone Penny on 07438 666342.
The Involve Centre is on Whitfield Avenue, Hunslet, LS10 2QE
