    NOTTINGHAM Refugee Week Nottingham 2015 Different Pasts, Shared Futures th Launching on 13 June 2015 Designed by Mojatu Foundation 167 Afreton Road, NG7 3JR | 0115 845 7009 www. mojatu. com | info@mojatu. comw NOTTINGHAM 13 to 20 June 2015 Refugee Week in Nottingham is an act of welcome, a gesture of solidarity, and a shared celebration. It exists both to raise awareness of the reasons why people are forced to seek refuge – persecution, war, famine, abuse, poverty and civil conflict - and also to celebrate th rough exhibitions, library and community workshops, family and children’s projects, music events, public meetings and a film festival, the contributions made by refugees and asylum seekers to the economic, cultural and social life of the city. This country has a long tradition of hosting and offering sanctuary to people displaced from their homes and forced to take flight, and Nottingham, with its diverse and dynamic population, is proud to be associated with this tradition. The Week is designed as an act of solidarity that cuts across the boundaries of place, culture and language by challenging the myths and stereotypes that misrepresent refugees and asylum seekers. The number of refugees and displaced people in the world is increasing again, and the tragic nature of this displacement was brought home by the recent drownings in the Mediterranean. NOTTINGHAM BEYOND BORDERS presents Refugee Week 2015, Nottingham, 13-20 June Saturday, 13 June: Launch event from 1-4pm drop in. The Space, Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham NG1 2GB.

  • Blast Theory Biography Our History
    Blast Theory biography Blast Theory is renowned internationally as one of the most adventurous artists’ groups using interactive media, creating groundbreaking new forms of performance and interactive art that mixes audiences across the internet, live performance and digital broadcasting. Led by Matt Adams, Ju Row Farr and Nick Tandavanitj, the group’s work explores the social and political aspects of technology. Drawing on popular culture and games, the work often blurs the boundaries between the real and the fictional. Blast Theory is based in Brighton, UK. Our history Early works such as Gunmen Kill Three (1991), Chemical Wedding (1994) and Stampede (1994) drew on club culture to create multimedia performances – often in unusual spaces such as film studios and accompanied by bands and DJs – that invited participation. The crime reconstruction installation Invisible Bullets (1994) was first shown at the Fete Worse Than Death in Hoxton. Something American (1996) treated the USA as the Wild West, quoting freely from Hollywood films on a billboard sized projection screen. 1997 was a major step forward: a nine month residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin coincided with a proposed performance called Succumbing suddenly shifting to become Kidnap (1998), in which two members of the public were kidnapped as part of a lottery and the resulting event was streamed online. Desert Rain (1999), a large scale installation, performance and game using virtual reality marks the first output of our collaboration with the Mixed Reality Lab at the University of Nottingham. An Explicit Volume (2001) is an interactive installation using page-turners to control nine pornographic books and is part of a sequence of works that use found imagery and/or sexual material such as Choreographic Cops In A Complicated World (2000) and Viewfinder (2001).

The latest and most ambitious project will transform Nottingham Castle, celebrating over 1000 years of history, exploring the city’s well-earned reputation as a place of protest and rebellion and showcasing its prestigious heritage and art collections. Over the next fifteen years Nottingham and its heritage will face We urge all partners to unite behind this common strategy, a number of challenges. The Nottingham Plan sets the direction working together to ensure the city can continue to celebrate and to transform the city into a safer, greener, healthier and more capitalise on its rich heritage to help grow and develop the city prosperous place.

  • Bulletin February 2017
    One Nottingham Bulletin February 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE JANUARY BOARD The first One Nottingham Board meeting of 2017 was lively and full. Jane Todd welcomed two new members to the meeting – Professor Karen Cox from the University of Nottingham and Dawnay Robinson, the new Youth Council Representative. The meeting also thanked the retiring Chief Constable, Sue Fish, for her time on the One Nottingham Board. The meeting wished her well for the future after her career in the Nottingham Police Force. Board Member, Dr Hugh Porter and City of Football Director, Amanda Chambers, informed the Board on the progress on the physical activity targets in the Nottingham Plan and the radical ways in which City of Football has encouraged people, of different ages and abilities, to just kick a football. The ON Board agreed to back a bid to Sport England from Nottingham for the Local Pilot. The bid will address the fact that too many Nottingham people are inactive and life expec- tancy is too short in many parts of the city. Our aim is to increase the number of people who take part in sport and activity, for the wider benefits it can bring, in terms of physical and mental wellbeing, for individual, community and economic development. The Board agreed that culture change will be the only way to do this. The presentation is available on the One Nottingham Dawnay Robinson, Website and details of the bid will be made available as it develops. Youth Council Representative Nottingham Black Intergenerational Group attended the meeting and led a discussion on the is- sues impacting on the life and social prospects of black people in Nottingham.

In fact a whole range of topics. Have a look at our website for recent publications to get an idea of the writing style. We are always looking for material to publish from budding or established authors and while we welcome proposals on any local history subject, and the possibilities are endless, please send us an outline proposing a length (in words) before submitting any completed articles. David Starkey, Niall Ferguson and Simon Schama all had to start somewhere. Dickens began by writing for the London periodical Monthly Magazine. If you want to write for The Nottinghamshire Historian why not try submitting a short piece first? We always want good short items, even better if you have illustrations to go with them. If you have a story to tell or some research to reveal then we need to know about it, our readers need to see it, you need to get it published. Material can be sent at any time to
