Museum of Cambridge

A workshop exploring what it means to thrive as a community through the creation of artworks and conversation. Family-friendly and free.

What does it mean to thrive? What do we all need in order to thrive? During this workshop we will explore these questions through artwork, and discussion (please make sure you have some paper and pen to hand, or use your computer to draw!). We will map the places in Cambridge where we can thrive, and start to imagine the changes we would like to see to enable us all to thrive while protecting our planet's resources. The artwork and maps we create will form part of an interactive walk-through map at The Museum of Technology in the summer (if covid-19 rules allow), which will be used to further explore. The workshop is open to everyone - whether you think you are an artist or not (matchstick men and doodles are hugely encouraged!) – it is family friendly and is free. This workshop is offered by Hilary Cox Condron as part of her work as Ironworks Artist in Residence, and <a href="http://resonance-cambridge.co.uk/forge/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Forge</a> - the community exhibition she installed at The Museum of Cambridge exploring how we can move towards a kinder future.
