Working in the outdoor courtyard using the cyanotype process, personal objects were placed on pre-sensitised paper and exposed to sunlight for 3-4 minutes, leaving shadows which were fixed when washed out by water. The immediate alchemy drew together a number of men who co-created the works with objects central to their survival such as their mobile phones. Cyanotype was discovered in 1842 making it one of the earliest processes to fix a photographic image. Digital Shadows 01-04 were made during Art Refuge's programme of delivery and the cyanotype process led by artist Miriam Nabarro. Established as a charity in 2006, Art Refuge offers specialist art and art therapy spaces to people who have been displaced due to war, persecution and poverty, both while in transit and once they have reached their destination. Working in Calais from 2015-20, its team of art therapists and visual artists, including those with lived experience as refugees, developed innovative, imaginative ways to work collaboratively with refugees living in transit on the France-UK border and facing ongoing exposure to hostility and homelessness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57555480f8baf31c273fe066/1720041384963-87BQG3AMUR4HWB48O0VX/Damnation+of+Memory+II.jpeg Visual Art - Damnation of Memory: National and University Library Sarajevo 30 x 30 cm hand printed liquid emulsion on khaki paper, framed in ash frame, stained with charcoal from a burnt down library.

And then there's the space inside Lily's head. Where the matter simply stopped forming.Lily. He. She. A fledgling family. A family who are suddenly faced with the unexpected, when, at 6 months, Lily is diagnosed with a rare neurological condition with potentially life-changing consequences. Suzy Gill's debut play, told in spoken word poetry, is a lyrical, honest and tender exploration of their family life as they begin tentatively to orbit the struggles and triumphs that come following the discovery that Lily's brain did not quite form the way that He and She anticipated. Out of the Dark is directed by Fay Lomas, winner of the inaugural Peter Hall Emerging Artist Fellowship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57555480f8baf31c273fe066/1624793163034-0FMXKBZQJD2CV5FVY50S/image0.jpg Theatre - TOUCHY An online film series commissioned by Wellcome Collection, in association with Unity.

She is live streaming an informal spoken word gig to her online followers. As she takes the mic, she desperately hopes that her audience will include the one person who needs to hear her truth: her mother. Weaving words, poems, and memories, she shares her story. From a vulnerable little girl in a bedroom in Kinshasa to a bold young woman partying and performing in Liverpool. Only now is she ready to revisit a past that she has locked away, to recognise the power behind her mother’s warnings, and to accept the truth that she was never to blame for what happened to her. Written and performed by Dorcas Seb. A co-production by 20 Stories High and Tigerlily Productions from an original idea by Associate Artist Odile Mukete. Directed by Julia Samuels. Co-produced by Jenny Monks (Tigerlily Productions) and Leanne Jones (20 Stories High). Production Design by Miriam Nabarro. Buttercup is 20 Stories High’s second BBC commission, following I Told My Mum I Was Going on an R.E. Trip, originally presented by BBC’s Performance Live in 2018 and re-released on iPlayer as part of the BBC’s Culture in Quarantine series.

As he recounts his adventures, the pilot re-discovers the power of imagination, the importance of doing what we can to protect our natural world, and the true meaning of friendship.In Inua Ellams’ magical retelling of the much loved story by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the Little Prince descends from an African race in a parallel galaxy. He travels across time and space seeking help to bring peace to his warring planet. His journey as a galactic emigrant addresses climate change, morality, takes us through solar systems of odd planets with strange beings, and shows how even a little thing can make a big difference.Children and adults are transported to the world of The Little Prince with puppetry, music of North African heritage and a rich Afrofuturist aesthetic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57555480f8baf31c273fe066/1624797949566-8O4T19T3RRDRHI8KPDRJ/image-asset.jpeg Theatre - I Told My Mum I Was Going On An RE Trip Trailer for I Told My Mum I Was Going on an RE Trip, directed by Lindy Heymann, DOP Deepa Keshvala, writer/ producer Julia Samuels, production design Miriam Nabarro. “THIS IS AS FAR REMOVED FROM A SEXUAL HEALTH LECTURE AS YOU COULD IMAGINE” Sunday Times Critics Choice “A POWERFUL DRAMA ON ABORTION” **** TV Times “YOU NEED TO WATCH BBC TWO'S NEW PROGRAMME ON ABORTION...

And I’ve told you that you only have to sit still for a moment and watch the pieces move to see what a lie that is.” Written by former Birmingham Poet Laureate Casey Bailey (GrimeBoy, Birmingham Rep) and directed by award-winning theatre maker, Gail Babb (Stars, Tamasha – OFFIE’S Best New Play 2024), Please Do Not Touch is a brand-new co-production between China Plate and Belgrade Theatre.

After an incident with a Somali Afro comb, Mason finds himself inside a Young Offender Institution. Now in the belly of the systems he is protesting, Mason uses the power of poetry to survive his ordeal and navigate how to keep speaking up when everything is designed to silence him. http://www.miriamnabarro.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57555480f8baf31c273fe066/433de6eb-8df3-4f25-b4ab-aa11b922cf4e/QHM-018.jpg About In the Studio… Photo by James Brittain for Cooke Fawcett @2024 http://www.miriamnabarro.co.uk/contact daily 0.75 2025-12-03
