THIS IS DERBY - Jungle Book
This half term as part of our This Is Derby Project, Artcore joined forces with Derby Theatre, Baby People, Sinfonia Viva and the primary school children of Abbey Ward to work towards a magical Jungle Book performance.
Over three days students have been composing songs, developing sets and creating scenes for an exciting miniature performance of the "Jungle Book". Once their initial ideas have been formed, the children will be working on all aspects of the performance throughout March. They will be performing the "Jungle Book" show at Derby Theatre’s on the 8th and 9th April. We’re really proud to be working with partners and of what all of these talented children have achieved.

The Exhibition explores issues that shape the future of remembering through a new body of works produced the two artists in residence: Mariano Doronzo and Olivia Punnett.
For two months Artcore has become a think-tank to expand the boundaries of public debate about tracing the transformation of memory archives from physical to digital information
and the corresponding evolution of public and personal remembering.
For The Institute of Reminiscence Mariano Doronzo presents Slides on a Light Box, a project aiming to light up and preserve some of the memories on the cusp of being lost forever. Moreover Doronzo’s work documents how Derby has evolved, changed or stopped in time.
On the other side Olivia Punnett presents a body of work that responds in print, projection and sculpture to her personal interest in Time & the remembered image, emotion of loss, moving closer to a sense of feeling that is time specific, a memory, a place, a moment; Both concealment and revelation.

DERBY VISUAL ARTS SUMMIT 2019On Thursday 28th February we hosted The Derby Visual Arts Summit with Contemporary Visual Arts Network East Midlands, University of Derby and Derby City Council.
During the morning session titled "Give Me a Place to Stand", our Executive Director Ruchita Shaikh shared Artcore’s aims and development plans giving the arts sector a stronger voice in Derby. Mike Brown, Arts Development Manager at Derby City Council, discussed Derby’s emerging Cultural Strategy where Arts and Culture will be a central driver in Derby for place-making, regeneration and civic responsibility. CVAN’s Elizabeth Hawley-Lingham explained the work they do supporting artists through project work. Dr Antoinette Burchill announced research initiative It Takes A Region To Raise An Artist. Attendees were able to share their experiences and views, network and actively engage and share the needs surrounding the arts in Derby.
Our refreshing guest speaker Viviana Checchia, Public Engagement Curator at the CCA in Glasgow, discussed place making and public engagement in the arts, generating provoking thoughts on strategy versus tactics of artistic practice within the City and how a place can become a space for subversive acts. In the afternoon Heather Morison from Studio Morison led "The Artists Housing Design Charrette", to explore what an artist’s house in Derby could be through discussion, paper folding, model making and active learning. Attendees made paper folds using techniques to materialise thinking on artist dwellings, floor plans and socially engaged housing.
