Our John and Jody went along to represent CoActive at National Coal Mining Museum for England for the opening of Jason and the Coal Mining Adventure 👇👇👇

Bright, colourful and immersive, Jason and the Coal Mining Adventure, offers a joyful reimagining of Britain’s mining history and the communities at its heart.

A national art project celebrating the heritage and lived experiences of Britain’s mining communities opens at the Museum on Friday 27 March. At its centre is a world‑first tapestry by artist Jason Wilsher‑Mills MBE, created with the historic Flanders Tapestry studio and funded by Arts Council England. Inspired by stories gathered from former mining communities, the work blends traditional weaving with digital animation and audio drawn from interviews with mining families.

The tapestry is deeply personal to Jason, reflecting his own family’s mining history and memories of NUM banners and the Wakefield Miners’ Gala. Alongside it, you will encounter monumental inflatable sculptures and new film and animation created with Hot Knife Digital Media, bringing bold contemporary art into dialogue with the Museum’s mining collections.

Community collaboration has shaped the project, with Jason working closely with schools, disability groups, community organisations and former mining families.

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating! We’ve got a morning workshop preparing ourselves for an exciting art commission

trip to the , the members were able to visit the representative of the pit ponies and meet Bud and Eric, do some onsite sketches and have an amazing talk about the history of the Pit Ponies. Which we all learnt a lot of fascinating facts and stories!

In the afternoon, we explored the museum with a lot of amazing artifacts and some fantastic wood carved objects done by miners as well as other crafted artifacts.

Then we got to celebrate the completion of the story, engagement and sensory boxes that the members helped write and put together for museum visitors to use going forward.

A day jam packed from start to finish but was wonderful to see the members enjoying every moment, even though they were worn out by the end of the day.
