WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?
You might have noticed that our everyday lives involve being bombarded from all angles by people whose primary desire in life is to make money. This can have one or two downsides: the creation of a culture in which happiness and well-being are measured in pounds and pence, the systematic sacrifice of planet earth in the name of business, and the life of a person coming to be quantified in terms of their financial worth instead of their intrinsic value as a thinking, breathing human being.
On 15th October 2011, people in Sheffield will be coming together to resist the tide of consumer capitalism, exploitation and crisis, creating a space for the free sharing of skills, ideas and knowledge. Come along to the Sheffield free school – maybe even to share a skill of your own.
The free school is being organised by members of the Sheffield Social Centre project, which aims to establish a permanent space for non-hierarchical, anti-capitalist and non-discriminatory activity in Sheffield.Plans for a permanent Sheffield Social Centre
Sheffield Social Centre group is currently in the process of registering as a co-operative and joining the Radical Routes network. Following this it will be seeking funding and premises for a permanent space in the city, run on anti-capitalist, non-hierarchical, non-discriminatory principles.
You are welcome to come to our meetings, for details see NEXT MEETING
Contact us on info@sheffieldsocialcentre.org.uk if you would like to know more, and be kept informed of progress.

CALL FOR ARTISTS! Allotment Soup 2011: Sunday 23/10/11
CALL FOR ARTISTS! Allotment Soup 2011: Sunday 23/10/11
| ALLOTMENT SOUP is an annual creative and artistic harvest celebration that takes place at a different Sheffield allotment site each year. The aim of the event is to celebrate food growing and allotment culture. Allotment Soup is a Grow Sheffield event. This year’s Allotment Soup event will be held at the LEAF community allotment in Norwood on Sunday 23rd October. Allotment holders are invited to open up their plot to host an installation, artwork or event as part of Allotment Soup. Artists, performers, poets etc are encouraged to respond to the particular allotment in which they are working by creating new, original work in response to the site, theme and the season. We will be holding two open days at the allotments for artists and other interested parties to come along and visit and explore the site, meet the growers and think about potential ideas and sites for work. These days are: Saturday 10th and Wednesday 14th September 12pm-4pm. If you are interested in attending, exhibiting or collaborating please email Ruthie (ruthie_ford@hotmail.com) or Diane (diane@leafsheffield.org.uk) with your NAME, NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS. Please also email if you have any questions or cannot make the open days but would still like to visit the site. We will be sending out more information to those who have expressed an interest on Tuesday 6th September. For more information about previous Allotment Soup events please see: http://www.growsheffield.com/pages/groshefallothm.html And to read about the amazing LEAF allotments please see: |

New Exhibition at Castle Markets Artspace Opens Monday 4th July
Artists Statement: Trevor Tomlin
“Earth, Air, Fire, Water”
www.trevortomlinfineart.blogspot.com
In 2011, I'm linking all my exhibited art work with the theme of “Earth, Air, Fire & Water” which I can take quite metaphorically as well as literally, at times.
The work in this particular exhibition consists of photographs and printmaking but the project to date has also included sculpture and painting.
The set of four lino prints depicts jungle animals (linked to part of the recent exhibition at Peace In The Park) and lifeforms I found at the Sheffield TAA (Temporary Autonomous Arts) event earlier this year.
The set of four digital photographs are multiple layer constructs, made with Open Source Software at Access Space and are derived mainly from scenes in Ecclesall Woods and Rivelin Valley.
Further details are available on my website.
