3: State of the Arts: Art in the Community

Everyone is an artist, or so said Joseph Beuys. And whether you’re an old hand or a hidden talent, the benefits of getting creative can be surprising.
In this episode we explore Everything I Have Is Yours, a greater Manchester art commission with a difference. Following two groups - united by age and a flair for the arts - we discover the value of art for all. From the creative minds behind the project, to inspiring workshop leaders and lively participants, we hear what a lifetime of experience can bring to both the arts and community.
Featuring: Ben White of Open Music Archive and Helen Wewiora of Castlefield Gallery.

If you want to feel hopeful about the future, just ask children what kind of world they would like to see. Their imagination knows no bounds, and their playful curiosity can be a refreshing change from the doom and gloom often foreseen by adults.  

For our SUPERFUTURES: What if…? podcast we will be tapping into that sense of wonder, exploring what it’s like to dream bigger and bolder for what lies ahead. Hosted by Natty Kasambala, we’ll be speaking with people who are tackling some of our greatest challenges in ways only children could have imagined, to make the world a better place for everyone.
