Pioneering Arts: Sadler and the Cathedral
Three exhibitions on the Coventry photography of Richard Sadler. This final exhibition explores his relationship with the new Coventry Cathedral. It is open Tuesday to Sunday 1000 - 1400 throughout May.
Exhibitions by non-artists on issues they face today.
By exhibiting participants in spaces throughout Coventry, we'll highlight the issue through art and develop public conversation, and, we hope, encourage more people to see how artistic responses are a valid and enduring form of protest and debate.

We are Jason, a photographer and Ben, an academic.
We work with communities to surface hidden stories and help curate them into exhibitions.
Our work is a matter of social justice: everyone deserves the right to be remembered. It's not just the offical accounts that tell a city's story but much more deeply rooted, personal stories that intersect, contend and determine what a city is.
From making these stories available we can begin to consider what we can do today to make lives better. This might be an artistic response or a public conversation.
Our current work is with Arts Council England, Coventry City Council and Coventry City of Culture Trust.
