Artbomb space engagment

Engagement at ArtBomb - some of the ways in which the space has been used to foster interaction and create impact with the public and other artists and organisations in the town.

Workshops as part of Residencies:

Wild Weed Kitchen

Artbomb Hallgate presents Wild Weed Kitchen. This is the beginning of a three week residency by Monika Dutta and Jake Harries, working with Sacha Gray, and Janet Wallace. Come to Artbomb Hallgate to discover what will occur and to get a taste of the activities on offer. As part of the beginning of the residency, there will be a drop in workshop in Text Art, with stenciling and poetry and spray painting in public spaces around Doncaster. There is also a chance to view the ‘Dandelion Army’ Janet’s response to the Wild Weed Kitchen is a series of large graffiti boards that will be displayed in public locations along the street. There will be food made from Dandelions to eat, and a chance to meet and chat with the artists as part of their residency. The workshop has been funded by DMBC ARG grants and is in collaboration with Kim Farr at The Gallery Gate.

The Bear Project - Residency, performance, workshops and exhibition.

"People moved around and through the space and I listened and joined in convos. I witnessed worlds opened up on peoples faces as they spoke about their memories and experiences and I thought how this is how people understand what is important to them and what they want to take into the future and what they want/need to leave behind if we are to co create an essential and new way of living."
