Refugee Week Nottingham 2015
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).

Nottingham for Reel! Shane Meadows Chris Cooke Miles Hunt C-Mone + More
Issue One/Autumn 2004 www.leftlion.co.uk Nottingham For Reel! Shane Meadows Chris Cooke Miles Hunt C-mone + more our style is legendary www.leftlion.co.uk/issue 23 12 www.leftlion.co.uk/issue1 www.leftlion.co.uk/issue1 13 “ Everything that I’ve done, right from Shane Meadows the beginning was born in Nottingham. Filmography Twenty Four Seven (1997) I always want to give something back.” Meadows debut is a film about a group of young men living in a run down area of Nottingham. They are all restless and lacking adventure or even the will to try and find it, so when D’arcy (Bob Hoskins) starts up a local boxing club they show varying amounts of interest. The story is a warming one and, with the license to improvise the cast are given, there are one-liners and banter that will have you blowing snot bubbles on your popcorn. This film was also something of a landmark for filmmakers in Nottingham. A Room for Romeo Brass (1999) A Room for Romeo Brass follows the friendship be- tween two pubescent boys growing up next door to each other on a council estate in Nottingham. Hos- pital treatment and ridicu- lous parents are a constant strain, but when Morelle (Paddy Consadine) be- friends the pair their friendship is tested to its limits. Romeo Brass is a gripping and touching snippet of life. What makes the film so watchable are the relationships, Andrew Shim plays Romeo with plenty of heart alongside a hilarious yet disturbing, first time performance from Consadine.
