Dudley’s Time Rebels come together monthly and have been testing out collaborative creative activities with local people across Dudley borough. This month we’re excited as we’ve been awarded Arts Council England and The National Lottery Community Fund funding to develop this work over the coming year.

What if we had a ritual of diving into stories of our places, connecting to nature, sparking our imagination, and co-creating peculiar prototypes that are in relation with the places we care about? medium.com/colab-dudley/s…

What if… local people designed the cultural strategy for their community? Welcome to Dudley Creates - a 100 year cultural strategy in action that is being led by local people. 🧵1/6
