We can’t wait to meet up tomorrow for the first #BigMalarkey Young Producers session! 🤩

📍 Hull Central Library
🗓️ Wednesday 16 September
⏰ 4:00 - 5:00pm

There are still some places available, so you could invite a friend along too if you like.

At the session we’ll be thinking about:

🎪 What makes a great festival?
🎪 What would you love to see or do at the 2027 festival?

We’ll also be making some artwork to be included in the ‘E is for East Park’ banner for the Alphabet of Hull! You might like to think ahead to what animals, flowers and insects you would like to draw or make to be included in the banner (feel free to bring pictures for inspiration if you like).

Look forward to seeing you soon!

Monday Musings is an opportunity for artists to share a text that sits alongside their practice or is influential within the development of work.

Emma Jenkinson has been reflecting on her practice for ‘Seen/Not Seen’ - a project, informed by lived experience and her career as a therapist - which explores identity and relationality through the shifting lens of late-recognition of autism and ADHD. She is developing an installation employing shards of mirror and text. As part of this R&D, a number of late-identified artists and musicians have been invited to respond to the project at different stages.

Emma shares with us a poem which speaks to themes of multiplicity and fragmentation in her practice. We invite you to read and reflect on this poem, including via creative response.

Monday Musings will take place in HARI on Monday 17th August, 6-8pm, where you can also see Emma’s ‘Seen/Not Seen’ piece in progress. Doors will be open from 5pm if you want to arrive early to sit with Emma’s work before the session.

Before The Breakthrough – the graduation exhibition by Ron Dearing UTC Foundation Diploma students as they transition from college to Universities with a fantastic show of 7 distinct installations.

We invite you to join us for their opening on Friday 5th June, 4-8pm, with short talks by the artists from 6pm. The show is open 11am-4pm Saturday 6th, then everyday from Monday to Thursday 11th June.

We’ve been impressed by the students’ ideas, commitment to their individual practices, and their attitude and thinking in siting their installations of work – including textiles, print, film, ceramics and much more – around the space.

We all look forward to sharing the work with you, and HARI can’t wait to see what comes from their future arts journeys!

A date for your diaries!👀

The Shape of Acceptance Exhibition will be in situ at Hull Central Library between 18th June and 30th July! A celebration event will take place on Wednesday 24 June 2026, inviting audiences to experience the work as it comes to life through gathering and shared encounter. Please book a ticket so we know how many people to cater for. More information for both can be found via the link in our bio! Come and support the fantastic work by the Malet Lambert Arts Councils✨

The Shape of Acceptance is a youth-led immersive installation co-created by pupils from the Generation Hull Arts Council at Malet Lambert School in collaboration with artist Lauren Saunders.

At its centre is a shared act of hopeful imagination. Young people have built a parallel world where strange but compassionate Beings gather beneath a vast Heart Tree... a living presence connected through unseen roots to our own world.

When imbalance is felt across that connection, the Beings are drawn together. Their ritual is not spectacle, but compassionate response - a collective movement shaped by care, attention, and the possibility of change.

Through sculpture, storytelling and world-building, the group has created a mythology of their own making. It is shaped by their ideas and hopes around acceptance, identity and connection. Each Being holds traces of its maker - fragments of identity, emotion, resilience and hope - forming a shared narrative and mythology built entirely from their voices.

Many thanks to those supporting this project: Generation Hull, Lauren Saunders, Arts Council England, Hull Libraries, Hull City Council, G F Smith, Esteem, the Tree Stories Project, TimeBank, Malet Lambert staff, and others.
