Collective Dreaming for the future with Many Minds 

Join Many Minds, mental health and performance charity in an interactive and inclusive workshop that invites you to dream with others, of the future we are longing for in a collective act of imagination, care and resistance. Centring people’s experience of culture and identity we’ll use creative exercises dream boldly about what culture could become.  
 
"What we cannot imagine cannot come into being" – Bell Hooks 
 
If you are a culture vulture, are engaged in the earth/ climate crisis, love Afrofuturism, have a strong sense of justice, reparation, community, OR really struggle to think beyond today then this workshop is for you!  
If you enjoy the session you are welcome to join us for 6–8 weeks every Tuesday evening as we work towards a performance around these themes that we will present at the end of June. 
 
If you have any questions about the workshop or access needs you would like to discuss please contact [email protected]

About A Love Letter To Broadmead

Unfolding across April and culminating over the early May Bank Holiday weekend, A Love Letter to Broadmead will see a takeover of empty units and shop windows, bringing fresh energy into the city centre; a growing invitation to experience Broadmead in a different light, through creativity, connection, performance and unexpected moments in the heart of the city.

The project has been born out of conversations with local people. Pounding the pavements across December and early Jan, the Compass team visited every business in Broadmead and had exciting chats with the cultural organisations in the area, ultimately recruiting a pool of young people to lead and deliver the project alongside us. 

The heartbeat of the project is the first floor of the galleries, in the old Captain Kandy (check spelling) shop, now “Unit Ujima” with its cool tiled flooring and floor to ceiling widows, and the old Vertigo VR shop (now “Unit One”, with tons of space for hangouts and performances. Plus hangout and chilling space in the wide area outside Boots.

Spaces are limited so snap them up early - they are all Free!

We are reimagining the city. It is Broadmead, but not as you know it.
