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.

The hardest thing to see is what is really there. JA Baker - The Peregrine (1967)
Delighted that the @bl_eap has published over 21,000 (1928-47) assets from the #hamiltonstudiosbombay archive from our #eap1117 project, including from 1939, the silent film star Sita, below. Thanks to @ArcadiaFund we will continue teaching young people care for archives. pic.twitter.com/cSwCXk5NmE

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.
