The NewBridge Project est. 2010 is an artist-led community supporting the development of artists, curators and communities by providing space for creative practice, curatorial opportunities and an ambitious artist-led programme of exhibitions, projects, artist development and events.
Join us on Saturday, November 23rd, for a range of workshops, events, and exhibitions!
Pedagogue
Visit our Reading Room this autumn to watch Pedagogue, the anti-Section 28 agit-prop video made in 1988 by Stuart Marshall, Neil Bartlett and Newcastle Polytechnic students. Section 28 was a British Government legislation prohibiting the ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in education.
Cuttings: Ceremonies of Trans Grief
Bookended by Trans Day of Remembrance and World Aids Day in November and December, poet and community organiser Kaan K is hosting a series of events to create for collective grieving, gathering and re-performing queer histories. Visit our gallery space to experience an altar made of plants.
Care, Temporality, Justice: a creative zine-making and radical imagination workshop
Take part in radical imagination exercises, cut and stick with some collaging activities and make your very own mini zines, all on the themes of speculative climate futures. Learn about zine making and how it can be used as a powerful tool for activism, and creatively express your own relationship with climate justice and the topics you are passionate about, as well as learn from other like-minded people. We will also be celebrating the launch of a new zine publication, ‘Care, Temporality, Justice’ – a collaborative zine about speculative climate futures – the outcome of a series of creative zine-making and radical imagination workshops held at the NewBridge Project.
This drop-in workshop is hosted by Miranda Iossifidis. Ages 13+, but a parent or guardian must accompany those under 16.
NewBridge Books
NewBridge Books is the entry point to NewBridge’s space and studios and provides space for welcome, conversation, and a place to meet. It acts as an event space and hosts a programme of book launches, talks, poetry readings and reading circles centred around print and publishing, creating space for shared learning and exchange.
It provides a resource and platform for artists, writers, and makers who write, publish, and make books stocked alongside gifts and artworks made by local and national artists and items made through our community and open-access workshops programme. Our stock includes books, zines, and magazines that explore visual art, photography, politics, the environment, sustainability, poetry, and more.
Access Information
NewBridge aims to be inclusive and welcoming to all. The building has two public floors with workshop spaces, galleries, a bookshop, and community spaces, all accessible via stairs or lift. Staff members are available to provide information and assistance during opening hours.
