🎉 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. Available at our box office and online, using code NVM5.
