Freedom, Reframed: Launch Event
- Main Information
2025 marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War, a pivotal moment that reshaped life across the UK and beyond. To commemorate this anniversary, arts centres and libraries across the country are organising a powerful new programme of community-led creative projects, entitled Our Freedom; Then & Now.
Queen’s Hall Arts have created a project which puts community voices at the heart, working with veterans, cadets, and active service members from RAF Spadeadam to explore what freedom means to them.
We invite you to be part of an exciting launch event celebrating Queen’s Hall Art’s Our Freedom: Then & Now project with a brand-new live Augmented Reality (AR) experience, led by local artist Emma Tominey.
This interactive AR experience is the culmination of community workshops, research into the history of RAF Spadeadam and a reflection on what freedom means then, now and in the future. The event will include a Q&A with the project team.
Book a free ticket to discover how arts centres are embracing future technologies and co-creating with communities.
Bring your smartphone to explore the work and add your own responses in real time. Help will be available on the day for using the app, as well ticket holders being sent a download link in advance.
The Our Freedom programme is led by Future Arts Centres and delivered in partnership with Libraries Connected and Open Eye Gallery, supported using public funding by UK Government through Arts Council England.
