How is our sense of self influenced by outside forces? The way we understand ourselves is impacted by the way we feel ourselves reflected and represented around us. For disabled people, these depictions can often feel like distorted mirrors; reflecting expectations rather than reality.
The Colchester and Ipswich Art Societies explore their mutual border, the River Stour, in an exhibition that celebrates the thriving creativity of the region, the joy of making and the enjoyment and well-being gained through experiencing art.

Global Events: Suffolk Stories is the inaugural exhibition at The Hold, the flagship new heritage facility for Suffolk on Ipswich Waterfront.
This exhibition explores how the Suffolk community has responded to different international events throughout history. Focusing on the arrival of American service people during the ‘Friendly Invasion’ of WW2, the rising tensions and public messaging of the Cold War period, and the collective community response to COVID-19 during 2020.
Through original archival documents, photos, music, and film, visitors can explore the similarities and differences between these three global events, and understand how Suffolk has changed as a result.

Micro-Plastics- Curated by lead Artist Hannah Aria
‘Beyond Plastic’ at The Minories in Colchester, August 2019
Guests curated by lead artist Michele Webber
An exhibition that explores our relationship with plastic, how it is impacting the seas, beaches and environmental landscape of East Anglia and beyond.
There are two parts to the exhibition:
A selection of solo artists, schools and organisations displaying projects and installations is complemented by an open exhibition of artworks in the Girling room.
• address the issues and themes of the exhibition, or
• show how artists can work in re-purposed plastics and other waste/found materials.
We challenged artists to use materials already in the workspace rather than buying new supplies where possible.
Visual Arts- Campaign Hearts. We are no longer an Art Group...we have begun a Movement.
'BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD'
