SUMMARY:When the Air Does Laugh
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition Hannah Waldron explores the meditative focus she encounters in her garden and at her loom. Using linen and yarns coloured with natural dyes from home-grown plants\, Hannah’s woven works are a record of time spent in her allotment. The artist has focused on following her intuition; finding a sense of wonder in the relational and rhythmic hands-on work of gardening\, drawing\, and weaving. The result is a body of work that captures the quiet magic of paying close attention to the natural world.

SUMMARY:Common Ground: Sleaford’s Shared Stories
DESCRIPTION:This major new collaboration with Sleaford Museum will explore local heritage through contemporary art and community participation. The project will culminate in new exhibitions presented at both the Hub and Sleaford Museum\, with new artist commissions and residencies shown alongside heritage and historical objects. Together\, these will unearth and reinterpret objects from Sleaford Museum’s collection. \nThrough creative interventions and intergenerational dialogue\, Common Ground: Sleaford’s Shared Stories will offer new perspectives on local heritage and create a platform for diverse community voices. Central to the project is the question: who and what has historically been excluded from regional heritage and cultural spaces\, and how can this be actively changed? \nThis exhibition is the second in the trilogy Sleaford: People\, Place\, Possibility\, which focuses on our local context. It follows the exhibition Together We Are Powerful (2023)\, which brought together shared stories and foregrounded the power that lies in togethering.
