THE GATHERING
Working with Mansfield Cultural Services we are creating a series of events where established and emerging communities are invited into the Buxton Gallery – with it’s many watercolours of old Mansfield – to share stories of their experience in the town and aspects of their culture and heritage.
So far we have three communities who are taking part, the Latvian and Polish communities who have been established in the town for many years, and the emerging Keralan community which is taking root, driven largely by those who come to work in the Kings Mill hospital.
The aim of these events is to develop links between the theatre and museum and a number of groups who perhaps feel under-represented in terms of their cultural presence in the town, and – more importantly – to develop links between the groups to begin to foster inter-cultural dialogue and work.
