Risky Cities - Flow of Words

Throughout August 2022, Risky Cities ran creative writing workshops with community groups around Preston Road with writer Maureen Lennon. Inspired by the histories of flooding in Hull, they explored how these stories can build resilience for the future. Five commissioned artists were invited to respond to this creative writing material, and transformed them into poetry, live music, visual arts and projections in two sharing events featuring artists, communities and the Risky Cities team. The sharing events included BSL interpretation and took place on Thursday 10th November at the Gulbenkian Centre on the University of Hull Campus and Friday 11th November at Preston Road's Freedom Centre

The sharings took place from 7pm on Thursday 10th November at the Gulbenkian Centre on the University of Hull campus and from 7pm on Friday 11th November at Preston Road’s Freedom Centre.

2023 — the commissioned artists performed their work at Environmental Change Late event at Feren's Art Gallery, Hull, on November 23rd. This formed part of the Hull on the Rise exhibit
