Bromham Mill Gallery and Community Space, Bridge End, Bromham MK43 8LP
Open daily now until March 7 – 10pm-3 pm.
Going Higher is an exhibition that displays the work and experiences of people who identify as disabled through physical or mental health. Plus a celebration of the work done by community and therapeutic art practitioners and centres who are a valuable asset to our communities, with the work they do. Some of the work also reflects the experience of disabled people who use art activism.
An artistic space at its best is where artists, tradition and cultural keepers are curating work that can be, world confirming or challenging, fosters critical thinking and expands compassion to create a more generative society. Work has been given by The Recovery College Bedford, Youth Inspired, Vince Laws, Mary E Hearne, Anne-Marie Abbate, Jill Reynolds and Sew N Sew.
There is a wide variety of work including textiles, mixed media collage, painting, sculpture and poetry. textile techniques include embroidery, collage, quilting, appliqué or the stencil hangings made by Vince Laws that form a backdrop to his performance poetry.
