This month, Y-Our Story has officially launched!
The year-long programme of artist residencies and community workshops, in collaboration with local arts organisations, artists and diverse communities will bring Acton’s stories to life through words and images.
Find out more about Y-Our Story.
There was a wonderful launch event with music, creativity, beautiful music and storytelling at Acton Library. Thanks to the School Choir of Year 6 Derwentwater Primary School, Yuli Tsang (violinist from Twyford High School), Maze Canon and Himawari Dance and Nathaniel JP Wills (guitarist) for their performances on the day.
There were also creative activities from Lewis Campbell with Make Your Spirit Animal Illustration taster, Kaic Studios ‘make your mark’ activity and Nada from LibLib publishing and the Bilingual story circle. We listened to speeches from ARTification’s Rachel Pepper, Councillorr Yvonne Johnson, Shanthi Ahilathirunayagam from Ealing Libraries and Richard Neville from Stories in the Street who engaged audiences and shared ways to take part.
