When community is HOME is a week-long exhibition and a programme of workshops, performances, networking, supper clubs, podcasts, kite-flying and communal singing — curated by Counterpoints Arts, supported by Pearson Lloyd design studio. Counterpoints brings their network of collaborators to Yorkton Workshops to respond to the theme of Our Home through an exploration of the intersection of displacement, climate justice and wellbeing.

We feel privileged to be working in the beautiful gallery. The curated programme is full of opportunity to participate, meet the artists, witness talks and performances and eat delicious food… and gather at a time when creatively connecting with friends and strangers feels like an act of self-care and support for others.

The creative programme is a set of collaborations with artists, collectives and organisations. Some are ‘old’ friends and partners, and others are new to our ever growing network.
