🎪 COMING TO FROME: The ForEm 🎪

🗓️ Saturday 19 September
⏰ 10am to 6pm | Drop In
📍 The Silk Mill Frome Somerset Silk Mill

🎟️ Part fête. Part exhibition. Part experiment.

The ForEm asks deceptively simple questions:
💬 What makes Frome, Frome? Who gets to decide what comes next?

Expect performances, films, artworks, games, community stories and a warm invitation to question ways of thinking, feeling, dreaming, sensing - and making sense - of the town we share.

The ForEm is the commissioned work of Frome-based artist Kate Keara Pelen developed through her collaboration with the University of Glasgow’s Civic Imaginary Partnerships research project University of Glasgow UofGSPS It turns a year of research into a space for the town to play with, challenge and add to what we have found. The ForEm invites people to explore the stories they tell about the town: its independence, creativity and community spirit, and also its challenges, contradictions and changing identities.

🧵You can encounter the Community Loom designed by Claire Orpin GreenSeaThreads and Tamara Jones Tamara jones and films made by Frome residents through the community film project led by Dr John Sealey of Fabian’s Film.

There will be free performances: Tom Spencer will guide an unconventional gallery tour through the artefacts, stories, myths and characters of the town. Martin Scott – bringing together Town Crier Frome’s Official Town Crier Cheese Lord The Cheese Lord and long-time observer of Frome life – will invite audiences to join him In Pursuit of Frome by spinning his wheel of Frome Roulette, triggering different stories about the town’s civic tribes, traditions and archetypes.

Civic Imaginaries Partnership first connected to Frome through the community work of Edventure Frome | Coworking & Courses Future Shed and Frome Community
And Future Shed Lead Sue has been supporting the research project and this event.

Drop in. Disagree. Contribute. Play.
We look forward to seeing you.

You may have seen that giant world of plastic waste being carried around Frome last March by the Frome Youth Climate Group. Created by collecting plastic waste from around the town, and working with artist .artist and led by Chris Redmond Plastic Bones made a statement about how we are treating our planet.

The globe is now installed for the summer in their barn. Huge thanks to and who installed it last week - we hope it survives the windy barn!!

Visiting groups to Heal Somerset can see it close up and be inspired to act by the campaign. Heal are also creating a beautiful mural along one whole side of the barn. Hopefully this young people will return to Heal to help complete the mural and see Plastic Bones there …

Listen to Hazel Sustainable fibre & fabric artist 🧵🪡🌍 talking about Making as Change as part of the Resources for Rural Changemakers - follow her journey of how deconstructing a hoodie is the beginning of another lovely textile object!

Hazel has been a core part of Everyone Needs Pockets Textile Reuse Network here in Frome almost since the very start. And part of The Frome Wardrobe Collective too. For us, it’s been so lovely to work alongside such inspiring and dedicated makers.

“I feel as though just picking up something that somebody else considers rubbish or waste and being able to take that and turn it into something that is then can be loved for longer, can be used for longer, suddenly becomes something that has value because it can be used more …”

Head to the webpage via our Linktree 👆🏼for the full listen of Hazels short podcast as part of the Field Recordings section - it’s a few minutes of powerful story - Hazel’s journey as a rural changemaker through repair, reuse, textiles and clothing. 💚🪡🧵

Resources for Rural Changemakers is one webpage full of inspiring short podcasts made by Edventure: Frome with other rurally based community activators in our area. Plus 2 directories stacked with useful links.
