Artcore
An event identifying the implications of Covid-19 on the creative community in Derby, finding solutions and providing support. The global pandemic has had a huge impact on the creative community in Derby and Derbyshire, whether it be museums and galleries being forced to close, small businesses being unable to open or freelancers missing out on commissions as organisations scale back their programmes.

DANCE FIRST THINK LATER until 23 Aug
General Practice
Message General Practice to book a slot. DANCE FIRST THINK LATER is showcasing work by 45 contemporary artists made during 15 weeks of lockdown. We have been so heartened by the way artists have responded to this period, forever resourceful, developing new ways of working with limited means, adapting their practices and sharing their process of making and thinking.

Haich Ber Na
YAC x Mansions of The Future
This conversation took place during the development stage of Haich Ber Na’s major film and music commission with Mansions of the Future (MotF) – an arts and cultural hub in Lincoln. Titled From Then ’til Now the ambitious and multifaceted commission will be released later this year and here Mansions of the Future’s Assistant Producer Bhav Bhella talks to the artist about his impetuses and visionary approach to making new work. Ber Na’s contribution to the MotF programme is a continuation from his 2019 release Everywhere’s Home; a musical and visual project which explored autobiographical notions of alienation and isolation.

Fermynwoods Podcast 3 – Leyla Pillai
Fermynwoods Contemporary Art
Artist, writer and researcher Leyla Pillai takes us on a guided tour of a fictionalised truth in episode three of the Fermynwoods Podcast. Building on episode two‘s exploration of Pleasure Garden, this new audio work is rooted in the imagined space of Deene Park and begins a contemplation and lure into its external grounds. A stream of consciousness style of spoken word, considering the garden as an acoustic sound mirror.
