Projects

Fusion's projects reach across Oxfordshire and beyond, working within communities in public and environmental art, participatory art projects and high profile public events such as Cowley Road Carnival, WinterLight Festival and In-tent-city.

You can view details of the recent and current projects we are working on here, or visit our Project Archive to see a selection of some of the many of the projects we have delivered over the last few decades. We are currently in the process of building this archive.

Inside Out / Outside In

March, 2012 - April, 2015

InsideOut/OutsideIn is a participatory story telling project that aims to reach immigration detainees based in Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre and diverse community groups in Oxford to build a bridge between the groups through creative channels.

Previous projects run by Fusion in the community and at Campsfield have shown how effective story telling can be at reaching people from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds and people in difficult personal circumstances. We are providing a three year-long structured story telling project using highly experienced bi-lingual artists to enable participants to explore their personal and cultural stories and express themselves with the related themes. The project will offer an exchange of stories between detainees and community members.

In celebration of the centenary of William Morris opening the first car factory in Cowley in 1913, and Mini Plant Oxford's active engagement with the local community, Fusion worked with artists Kleiner Shames, Emily Cooling and Julia Roach to deliver a series of intergenerational participatory workshops to create celebratory artwork. A large collaborative painting and carnival banners were created along with some large painted cars which became part of an ongoing wall mural at Mini Plant illustrating the car production history of the city.
