This week our Culture Radar guest is Angharad Williams, the Head of Programme: Creative People and Places, (Knowsley & St Helens), Heart of Glass.
Loved: I recently went to see Stuffed by Ugly Bucket Theatre in Shakespeare North Playhouse. An incredible fresh and powerful piece of clowning theatre exploring food banks.
Looking forward to: Our Strong Women of Knowsley artwork was unveiled this weekend in Kirkby Shopping Centre. Like many places Knowsley lacks major public art which celebrates women, and especially working class women! Artist Carrie Reichardt has been working with hundreds of residents from across the borough since last year, collecting memories and stories of inspiring women past and present. Together, they have turned these stories into art, creating 540 ceramic tile hearts dedicated to a strong woman who inspires them.
Trivia: People like to refer to Knowsley as the sausage that hugs Liverpool : )
