World Reimagined project
In July of this year, we were invited to participate in the World Reimagined project. The projects aim was to transform how UK society understands the Transatlantic Trade of Enslaved Africans and its impact through a mass participation art education project. Large Globes were designed and decorated.
A trail of large globes can be found across Liverpool and the City region. All unique to bring to life a powerful journey of discovery that explores our shared history. The trails are a catalyst for a broader learning and engagement programme with schools, community groups and cultural institutions from across the Liverpool City Region. This project was replicated in several cities across the UK. Our Globe is housed in a local library. The Project ends on the 31st of October. Our Globe will be taken and exhibited at the World of Glass here in St Helens.
Best Friends Forever
Hello everybody, my name is Snake. My book ‘Best Friends Forever’ will be launching on the 18th of October at St Helens library – the world of glass. It is a fictional story based upon a dream, now made into reality, thanks to everybody at Buzz Hub. I hope to inspire others to get creative and make stories of their own.
Rock your socks
Our art group created designs that were put onto socks to celebrate world down syndrome day. “Rock your socks” was exhibited in the town centre. Our members and a group from go active queens park also completed a sponsored walk as part of the ‘Rock your socks’ campaign. The group walked from Queens park to St Helens town hall. Everyone worked so hard to raise £158.
