This week we were lucky enough to be joined by Ru of The Beatbox Collective. In our tenth session, Rupert led us through a series of demonstrations and exercises so that everyone can master the basics of beatboxing.
If you were unable to make the session then why not use our recording of the session to give it a go at home!
Every week until 19th August we are running a Culture @ Home session on Wednesday afternoons at 2pm. These are always free and the creatives are each paid £150 for taking part. After the sessions we compress the recording and where agreed with the artist, make it available online so that those who could not join our sessions are able to make use of them at home.
This week we were lucky enough to have movement director and choreographer Susanna Dye open us up to the idea of using your home as a creative tool for movement and to look at these places we inhabit with fresh eyes. The session is below, thanks to all who took part.

As the Covid-19 outbreak has a huge effect on all our lives, and the world we inhabit gets smaller, we have decided to make the Fareham Heritage Trail Map available for FREE download from today.
The Fareham Heritage Trail Map was created in 2016 after workshops with the local community (you can find out more via our Projects page) and provided a journey through the borough’s history, from Portchester to Swanwick, much of it acessible on foot.
It recently dawned on us that as people are moving around on foot and exploring their local area more than usual the map could provide a welcome accompaniment to daily exercise and offer a distraction from what’s going on in the world, and provide an opportunity to learn more about the rich history of Fareham Borough.
The map can be downloaded as a PDF below, and on our homepage. Although it is free, as a not for profit hit hard by the pandemic we welcome donations, and you can do so via the Donate button below
So it’s that time of year again, South Central are once again on the lookout for interesting, challenging, or beautiful work for it’s winter edition. South Central is the Art and Culture magazine for the south central region of the UK and is available at various locations about the region.
Artists interested in being featured must send a high res image of their work (at least 300dpi, this is best print quality and you can click on “properties” to make sure this is at the right level), their name, the title and materials of the piece and their website, by midnight on Sunday 30th October, to editorial@southcentral.co.uk.
All selected artists will be informed before Saturday 5th November.
So tomorrow is the launch of the Portsmouth leg of Journeys Festival International. This yearly event is a celebration of the amazing stories and talent of refugee artists and through its program it aims to create a “positive interface” with the community.
Over twelve days there is an assortment of paid for and free events where people are invited to watch, to view, to listen and most importantly, to participate with the work of refugee artists; learning more about their stories and engaging with their practice.
Events range from the container project, know as the “Well-Come” project where 10 young artists from the refugee and asylum seeker community will work with urban artist, M-One, exploring their creativity inside the container. To Cafe Conversations on a variety of topics related to the themes that affect refugees and the wider world; to a reading from Hidden a Sunday Times book of the week by young person’s author, Miriam Halahmy; to pop-up theatre; more theatre; visual art including the work of Nikos Papadopolous’ Plasticobolism series which will be viewable around the city (you can find our more about the work here) and later in The Container Project.
We will be checking in with quite a lot of the work over the coming twelve days and will keep you updated, our highlights will also feature in the Winter edition of South Central.

This is a great opportunity for any artist working in 2D media. The Live Art Local CIC family is unleashing a new art and culture publication on the world based around the south central region and those making art and culture happen in it.

We are seeking an artist who lives or works within the region shown below to create the lead artwork for the inaugural edition of South Central due to launch on March 15th 2016

So it’s that time of year again, the Being Human festival is coming to Portsmouth from November 13th -21st 2015 and it is not to be missed.
Being Human is the first UK wide festival of the humanities and it is back for a second year. Portsmouth University has a key role in the event leading the series, Port City: Narratives of Migration . As Yael Friedman says on the Portsmouth University Being Human Facebook page:
“Portsmouth tends to be associated with the history of the Navy, and there is a mistaken perception that the city is mono-cultural. Through its lectures, walk, workshop, exhibition and readings, Port City: Narratives of Migration aims to dispel this notion and encourage people to think a little differently about the city’s history.” Yael Friedman
There are 5 key events associated with the period and although they are all FREE, numbers are limited so early booking is essential:
13 November: Drinking tea to escape the noise of the world
14 November: Portsmouth sailortown walk
17 November: Engaging with the past: Migration memories
18 November: Reviving the crescent: Portsmouth connects with Asia
21 November: Exploring Walter Besant’s ‘By Celia’s Arbour’ – Creative Writing Workshop
Being Human is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and the British Academy (BA) with additional support from the Wellcome Trust.
