KWMC
At Knowle West Media Centre we believe that the arts have the power to make a difference to our lives, our neighbourhoods and our environment. We’re an arts organisation and charity based in Knowle West, Bristol and we’ve been supporting individuals and communities to get the most out of digital technologies and the arts since 1996. In practice, this means providing exciting and relevant ways for people to get involved in community activism, education, employment, and local decision-making.
Young people at Creative Hub tested our YouDecide voting app this week at KWMC and Would Like To Meet event. Great feedback and interesting to hear young people's views on their communities and what differences they would like to see...
An unveiling of the brand new Pop-up Furniture factory for Knowle West attracted crowds of local people when it opened its doors to the public last week.
A showcase of new factory equipment - including a laser cutter and CNC router as well a range of recycled furniture made by local people were just some of the attractions.
There was also the chance to chat to groups using the building such as Sew Clever and find out about local projects run by KWMC and re:work.
Wildfest 2014 saw hundreds of people once again ambling to the Northern Slopes for a day of free creative and green activities! Lots of smiling people, great food, music and activities enjoyed by all! Thanks to Youth Moves for organising.
We got a chance to check out the new roundhouse building project at Springfield Allotments, after seeing photos of what it's going to look like when it's finished I can't wait to see it! A great project for young people in KW to be involved in.
Had a great day making and eating pizza with kw ingredients and talking about collaborative food production and preparation at AHRC connected communities event in Cardiff with the Foodscapes team.
