About this event
Join us in October for a new pop-up exhibition in partnership with Make A Mends. The team there have been investigating the history of Fore Street in Redruth over the last 200 years, paying particular attention to repairing activities.
Current businesses and organisations in the town centre have been asked to think of word starting with RE, that best describes their organisation. The Make A Mends team have then created textile artworks including these words to be displayed at their premises.
This pop-up exhibition includes an illustrated map of Redruth and an accompanying booklet which details these pieces and where they can be found. They’ve also asked local people to bring along an object they have repaired to create a tableau vivant, that displays the creativity and resourcefulness within our community.
Make A Mends hope this will encourage everyone to think more about repairing as a way of taking better care of ourselves, our community and planet.
The Team at Make A Mends would like to thank all the people that have contributed to this project over the last year and a half. Many thanks also to the following organisations for providing funding: Historic England, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, FEAST, Cornwall Council, Cornwool Craftivista CIC and Cornwall Community Foundation.
The exhibition is on during our usual opening hours.
