Our statement about the weekend's racist and Islamophobic riots in Bristol and across the UK.
We offer our space for anyone organising action who needs to come together - please just DM us and we will sort.
All our love,
Team Watershed x

ALT We are appalled by the recent racist and Islamophobic riots in Bristol and across the UK - we stand against all forms of fascism. We stand in solidarity with everyone impacted, particularly those from Global Majority backgrounds and those who identify as Muslim, and offer our space for anyone organising action who needs to come together (drop us a DM). Inspired by Rising Arts Agency, we are offering Rest as Repair days for staff impacted. We will be organising a fundraiser for Hope Not Hate and amplifying the statements of Black, Muslim and Migrant-led charities in Bristol. All our love, Watershed

We're obsessed with re-creating a feeling of things being alive.
This week's workshop tinkering was a 3D-printed hand with puppet joints for actuation.
It's reminding us of #Boxtroll hands - which we absolutely LOVE.
