Trinity Big Tent Take Over
Hype at Big Tent
As part of the take-over we asked cultural and community organisations across Bristol to submit content for a film about Bristol's cultural offer. This film was shared the delegate including MP's and policy makers.
Trinity teamed up with Radix to programme a two-hour takeover at this year’s Big Tent Ideas Festival 2022.
Radix is a UK Think Tank whose work re-imagines societies, their Big Tent Festival is an opportunity for the public to take part in conversations to help shape UK policies.
For the festival we curated a jam-packed slot featuring keynotes and panel discussions to reflect the power and benefits of arts; personally, socially, and economically. St Pauls Carnival Executive Director LaToyah McAllister-Jones, Bristol Ideas Acting Director Naomi Miller and Knowle West Media Centre CEO Carolyn Hassan used their unique experience to discuss ways to democratise decision making and build ownership of arts and culture.
Gritty Talent Founder and CEO Melanie Rodrigues and TV industry consultant and specialist discussed the regional role of Bristol as a city of culture and its relationship to creative industries. Comedian and Writer Angie Belcher discussed arts for health & well-being whilst Quartet Community Foundation CEO Suzanne Rolt led a keynote on art for learning and social change
The programme also featured performances from City Poet Caleb Parkin, Hype Dance, Desperate Men, Edson Burton, Sheila Hannon and Lottie Ball - all showcasing Bristol's rich cultural offer.
Keep an 👀 out for filmed snippets of the take-over and join in the wider conversation about what culture means for you and the city.
