Call out for disabled Artists!

JOY is a new strand to the Hammersmith and Fulham Arts Fest celebrating local disabled artists within the local community. JOY will be showcasing not only those disabled artists already established within the community, but will seek and reach out across the community to emerging disabled artists and those that have not previously been involved in the arts.
The JOY program of Hammersmith and Fulham ArtsFest will run at the Lyric Hammersmith from Wednesday 6th June – Saturday 9th June. We are seeking disabled artists to fill our program, providing music, theatre, dance, art, film, creative workshops and more over this period of the festival.

Please find in Resources on the right the full ad and how to apply.

Good Luck!

Aunt Esther’s Story – Enigma Event

Last Saturday we had our second Enigma Event in partnership with “Women Make Change” who put together a great event for International Women’s Day. Women Make Change is a charity that promotes and protects the health and safety of women and girls affected by domestic violence.

Melanie Nock took the chance to introduce Aunt Esther’s Story. Esther Bruce’s autobiography written by Stephen Bourne tells the story of a black London Seamstress from 1912–1994 and provides a first-hand account of the life of a black Londoner in the pre-Empire Windrush years. When Esther Bruce was born in Fulham in 1912 only small black communities exited in Britain.

Another big announcement was the launch of the “Agents for Change” Women’s Leadership Programme that we founded in partnership with the H&F Council, the Imperial College and the Lyric Hammersmith.
