An exhibition highlighting the work of emerging Somali artists working locally, aiming to open, challenge and explore unspoken narratives.

A collaboration between Red Door Studios and designers Alberta Jones and Cherry Truluck Halpin. A project to bring people together after the referendum. The space was transformed and the project culminated in a festival of music, film, poetry and an exhibition of artworks all fuelled by emotions after the Brexit vote. An open call was made to artists and the local community to get involved, and the project was supported by artist Jimmy Cauty.

Words with edge was a literature festival organised by writer in residence Andi Michael. It involved a week long programme of workshops, talks and performance. To accompany this festival Red Door Studios also developed a programme of workshops for children. Aimed at 7 - 10 year olds, the programme combined storytelling, storymaking, creative writing, visual art and literacy exercises and the sessions focused on building self confidence in learning, social interaction, and literacy skills.

In collaboration with Sophie Hill, an experienced chef informed by the time she spent working at the iconic River Cafe and with Theo Randall at The Intercontinental. We hosted a series of lunches aiming to bring high quality, freshly prepared, rustic food to our local community. Eaten at big communal tables with shared dishes to create a truly communal culinary experience. We will be continuing this year with chefs experienced in different cuisines so check on our upcoming events page and instagram to find out more.
