🎉 It’s our 5th Birthday tomorrow 🎂⁠ ⁠ All week we’ve been sharing 5 highlights from our 5th anniversary year.⁠ ⁠ ⭐️ Playing With Power ⭐️ ⁠ An exceptionally rewarding project we worked on this year was the ‘Playing With Power’ project, a collaboration between the NVM, Stand & Be Counted - SBC Theatre and Biome Collective. It explored what happens when you shine a light on the stories from Sheffield’s sanctuary-seeking community and re-imagine them as a videogame.⁠ Through a series of workshops, a group of talented young students were empowered to design and develop their very own videogame ideas, characters and music. The final results (which were all brilliant!) are now part of a mini exhibit at the NVM which was officially launched in October with a special event where we had loads of fun celebrating with the amazing young participants. About the project: We commissioned resident artists Biome Collective to work alongside Stand and Be Counted, with generous funding from the Museums Association through a grant from their Digital Innovation and Engagement Fund, supported by UK Research and Innovation and the AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council).⁠ ⁠ ⁠Be sure to check out the Playing With Power exhibit when you join us in celebrating our 5th birthday with £5 off all tickets on Friday the 24th November 2023.
