Here’s a snippet from the ‘Tracing Safe/r Spac

Here’s a snippet from the ‘Tracing Safe/r Spaces’ Exhibition on Friday, ft work by artist @eddie.stenstrom72 (long form video soon!)
I think it’s worth noting that this exhibition was conceived by Eddie himself who, after starting with us on the project, with mentorship from @pompeydarkroom and support from @theboxgallerysouthsea made this happen. We were just happy to work alongside Eddie and the team to bring it to fruition 🩷
Eddie’s work is as powerful as he is as a person and so we celebrate him, the work he’s created and the collective ability to work with all of us to collaborate and respond to the project in a wonderful way 🎉
Thanks for the 80 people who turned up to the event! Great to see old friends and meet some new friends of Downtown Pompey so if you’re new here 👋 👋 👋 WELCOME! We cannot wait for you to join us again at an event, workshop, show or dinner! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks as always to @carmanncreative for the capture!

We’re super excited to announce that our recruitment has just gone LIVE! For this round we are looking for two new roles as part of our ‘Storming The Teaccup: Diversifying Pompeys Heritage’ project:

Working alongside our team, partners and communities were looking for individuals with passion for heritage, community development and those creatively minded.

We’re really excited to continue our expansion within Pompeys Diverse Heritage and bring new members into our Downtown Pompey team! See the website for details.

As a queer led organisation we actively encourage individual applications from communities with lived experience relevant to this project.

Please help spread the word!
