Recovery Poems

Monday 17 - Sunday 23 May

This is a past event which has now ended.

Who have we lost? What do we need to commemorate and how?  What do we want to hold onto and grow? What positive changes can we make to society and the natural environment as we recover from the pandemic?

Emergency Exit Arts (EEA) presents the Recovery Poems. Through talking and listening to communities, artists Robert Montgomery and Deanna Rodger have created an inspiring light poem that will visit public spaces as a backdrop for workshops, performances and reflections. Citizens can come together to respond to loss and the building of better communities as we start to emerge from the pandemic.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 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.
