In this talk, Beyond We (Pervasive Media Studio Residents Dr. Mena Fombo and Michael Jenkins) share their top 10 takeaways after they tried to launch a new venue boat on the Bristol Harbourside.
Beyond We's (formerly Bristol African Caribbean Culture Space) ambitions for a new arts space based in the Harbourside have been halted. During this talk, the team will share the learnings from the past three years of their research and development phase, the challenges experienced trying to launch a new venue and also the success they've had onboarding stakeholders and working with an amazing community of black artists from across the South West and Wales.
Beyond We is an initiative created by Dr Mena Fombo and Michael Jenkins.
Open Studio Fridays
From 10:00 - 17:00 you can stay at the Studio for Open Studio Fridays - join us to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. The Studio provides chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Tell us what you’re up to, or allow us to facilitate conversations within the resident community. Studio staff and residents will be around to chat, answer questions, or tell you more about what we do. The open afternoons close at 17:00, sometimes with a trip to the Café & Bar.
Where to find us
The Lunchtime Talks take place in the Pervasive Media Studio, which is in the Watershed building. The Studio is just beyond the Café & Bar, turn right and then go down the corridor to your left (where the toilets are). The double doors here will be open, go all the way down until you reach the Studio. A member of staff will sign you in, and check your ticket, if you have booked.
