VERVE

In 2013, Fusion Arts worked with textile artist Anne-Marie Cadman to create a series of panels for a large community workshop tent as part of VERVE. VERVE was a major £1.6 million project at the Pitt Rivers Museum funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund that took place between 2012-2017. Aimed at deepening understandings of museums' displays, it reached out to wide and diverse audiences.

Community workshop tent

Anne-Marie worked with participants from Crisis Skylight, My-Life My Choice, Artscape, and Banbury Young Homeless Project, using colourful layering and printing techniques to create images inspired by the museum’s collections and architecture.

The community workshop tent then toured with the museum on all their future outreach activities.
