Rebel Resistors Radio Club

Action Hero’s international participatory project Rebel Resistors Radio Club asks deep and profound questions in a playful and accessible way: where are we heading? Where is power held? How will we share space together in an uncertain world? We were delighted to bring their work to Mile Cross Primary School in Norwich.

Working with Action Hero’s Gemma Painton, girls were supported to self-build analogue radios and broadcast their personal manifestos for the emerging world, building a global clandestine network of girls, tooled up for the future they will inherit.

Stepping into their power and controlling not just what they say, but how they are heard, they create a post-digital, pirate social network that transcends digital technologies and imagines a future that belongs to them.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
