☀️ On Tuesday I packed up the car and drove to Wales to stay at the @ffermdwyran place! It was beautiful, peaceful and just what I needed. To rest and to regulate after a very difficult few weeks. @madebysnew lives close by so she came to hang out, we had a very needed catch up, drank wine, played music and kicked the ball about with Bronze. Then Emma gave us a fantastic tour of the farm and all the amazing progress that they have made. So excited for this to keep developing. We are slowly beginning to discuss the possibilities of running some creative exchange residencies when the farm and our space on Bedford Road are all up and running. This is a few years away but it's very cool to think about city based and rural residencies and how we can support marginalised artists to experience both these opportunities as part of an exchange programme. We also had two afternoons on the beach with our perfect best mates Olive and Bruno. Splashing in the sea, playing football, blowing bubbles and digging holes. Always the best company!! Thank you @roxyobscura for having lots of great ideas to push the organisation forward, and being by my side. Thank you @emmafatout and @teegs_hawkwind for your hospitality, that gorgeous homemade soup. And your three beautiful friendly pups!! 🐾 As always, drop comments here if you have thoughts and ideas 💪🏼 🎵 The excellent @dtbroughton #culturalexchange #marginalisedartist #artresidency #anglesey #mentalhealthcommunity

📷 some more photos taken by the talented @regan.stills The last few days have been really difficult, my wonderful auntie is at end of life care, rushed to hospital on Saturday morning and it's been hard. Traumatic at times and triggering memories of my dad dying. I'm doing the best I can to be strong for her and for my mum, but also allowing myself to crumble when I need to. Thinking of the reasons the the last exhibition exploring grief and how many people opened up about an emotion we all share. Yet so many of us hide. Pretend it's ok. It's.not, it's scary and sad and confusing. We are doing all we can to make Debbie's last days or weeks as comfortable and full of love as we can. I love you Debbie Teague 🧡 A night at home tonight, a hot bath, a nice homemade dinner and the football on. Hoping for a big sleep tonight! These photos show a bit more of me, something that's not too regular!!! Thanks to Pete for making me feel comfortable posing! Last thing, stay safe in the heat. Alot of people who see this will be on SSRI meds. I am on sertraline and I struggle in the heat. Excessive sweat, and bad dehydration.... Keep as cool as you can and ask for help if you need it 🧡 Looking into starting a mutual aid scheme for disabled artists, more to come soon x #mutualaid #communityart #griefsupport #mentalhealthsupport #artistspace

🌞 Bedford Road School in Bootle, was built in 1885 during the late Victorian era to serve the growing educational needs of the local working-class community. Originally a primary school, it later became an all-girls school and played an important role in the education and development of young women in the area. Many former pupils progressed into careers including nursing, teaching and skilled trades, reflecting the school’s significance within the community. During WWII, Bootle was heavily bombed due to Liverpool’s strategic docklands. Bedford Road School suffered significant damage during the Blitz, and the school clock is remembered locally as having stopped at 11.34pm when the building was hit. For many, this moment has become a powerful symbol of the impact of the war on the community. In 1992, the school relocated to Quarry Road, and in 1993 the building became Bedford Road Community Centre, serving local residents until its closure in 2015. Although it has been vacant for over a decade, the building remains a significant local landmark, representing generations of education, resilience and community life in Bootle. 📷 The first professional photographs taken in our new space. Hopefully this gives you an idea of the scope of the project! We are excited to work alongside @assembleofficial to design and develop this into a radical, ambitious creative space! Thank you @regan.stills for the photos!! You have an hour left to donate (link in bio) #assemblecollective #communityart #mentalhealthawareness #disabilityarts #accessibilityinart

Huge news at BGW HQ 🔥 I’m incredibly proud to announce that we will be transforming an old school into a permanent artist residency space in Bootle, Liverpool. This incredibly ambitious project will bring a long-vacant historic building back to life as a home for marginalised artists, creativity, connection and community. Through artist residencies, workshops, mentoring and public events, we'll create new opportunities for artists facing barriers to accessing the arts, including those experiencing mental health challenges, disability and wider social and economic disadvantage. 🔨 We're also thrilled to be working with the 2015 Turner Prize-winning collective Assemble to help shape the future of this remarkable space. This is a major milestone for Broken Grey Wires and a bold investment in Bootle's creative future. Thank you to Sefton Council for believing in the project and our ambitious ideas. 🌞 Please click the link in our bio to read more in our Press Release ⚡️ https://brokengreywires.co.uk @assembleofficial @sefton_council #communityasset #artistresidency #bootle #liverpoolarts #assemblecollective

April was full of a few new things for me. A new gym to coach in, a few new client experiences, and a renewed realisation that I need to work harder to get what I want. But what do I want? I want to help people get what they want and achieve their goals. ❤️ I love coaching people, training clients, and helping plan for their future selves to be in a better space than they currently are. ❤️ I love seeing clients’ goals develop from “Oh, I just want to get a little stronger” to “Katie, I want some big fucking shoulders.” ❤️ I love the conversations that I have regularly with my clients that help shape their perspective of themselves, and when they realise that they need to WANT to live a better life just as much as I want that for them. It’s easy to pay for a personal trainer, to show up, and get it done. But what’s harder is putting the effort into it, changing your routine so it fits your new training schedule, becoming invested in yourself so when you slip, you don’t fall to the bottom anymore - just a little lower than where you stood. Communicating how you feel and how things affect you takes more self-introspection than you’re currently programmed to do. It takes time and patience; the right coach can help you with it. ✖️I am NOT the coach for people who think that training is just a means to lose weight or to get skinny. 🫀 I am in it for the long haul, to help you change your life for the better and to make you stronger physically and mentally.

Did you know The Pod have a collection of close to 1,000 zines, we have collected since 2012, some are donated to us, many commissioned by us or made as part of artist residencies at The Pod (see tags) others on long term loan, our zine’s cover many subjects, sustainability, housing rights, music, gender, madness, health, politics, human rights, to name a few. Some made by survivors, others collectives, and many by artists. We have commissioned around 20 zines (some now held in other collections and libraries)and created a space for zine launches and audiences with through our ‘Politics and Pakora gatherings and Supper Clubs and programmed 2 Outsider Zine Festivals in collaboration with with Coventry Cathedral sharing their space with Zine makers and collectors from across the UK, and before that InZine festivals, we have run zine workshops led by artists and activists and as consequence started many people on their zine making journey. Watch this space for details of our next zine focussed Politics & Pakora but also give our @outsider_zine_reading_room page follow if you don’t already. We will add a fab article written by Madzines (Asylum) about their experience of our Outsider Zine festival and launch to our bio (or comments if reading on Facebook,. #cultivateconnectchange

What a day. I had some help from @housefortynine today! We built tower scaffolding, sanded, filled, washed, swept, painted and drilled all day. We took a break at Asda cafe for slushies (thank you sun 🌞) we listened to @laurenlaverne on radio 6 and @craigcharlesfunkandsoul We plotted and planned, I showed her @lockandquaybootle and how close it is to @saferegen our temporary home. I made a few clips to document the first big day sorting out the new space, and added some sound effects!! Back tomorrow 💪🏼 Thanks Katie for all your hard work!! ⭐ #artistresidency #liverpoolart #communitysupport #brokengreywires #manuallabour

Artists with mental health challenges & other disabilities face systemic barriers within the arts in the UK, with research showing that around 60% feel isolated from mainstream art communities due to a lack of understanding and inclusivity. At BGW, we have been working to develop an ambitious and experimental residency programme designed to support artists who face systemic barriers, enabling them to reclaim space, resources and recognition. To effectively test parts of our proposed model, we have secured space at SAFE Regeneration in Bootle, Liverpool, where we will run a series of pilot residencies. The project is called Back Room – ‘two out of three.’ Because the space is quite literally in the back rooms of the building. And from our research we discovered that two out of three artists consider quitting due to the barriers they face. In about two weeks, we will announce our open call for artists to take part in a 4 month residency in the space. ⚡️ We hope to work with three artists who will get free studio space, a £2,000 payment, access to our Comfort Zone (a comfortable, soft space to relax, nap and recharge.) Opportunities to run or take part in creative workshops, invites to artist talks, opportunities to engage in mentoring and be part of a supportive, ambitious artist network. Right now, we are developing the space (its a cold, filthy empty shell currently!!) but its very exciting as we move closer to getting this space ready for you. More soon …… ⭐️ 📷 I created the lino cut this week, it was very nice to make. In our space we will have all of these Back Room design ‘posters’ framed, to celebrate this slight change in direction for BGW. #brokengreywires #artistresidency #accessibilityinart #disabilityawareness #disabilityarts
