Minneapolis is known for many things — pretty lakes, the Mall of America, lutefisk. But 17 years ago, hip-hop act Atmosphere transformed the city into something else entirely: a nexus from which underground rap spiraled-out to the masses. And thanks to the duo’s indefatigable touring habits, Top 20-charting albums, and their galvanizing artist-owned label Rhymesayers (MF Doom, Aesop Rock), they’re still pushing the boundaries of what indie rap can mean.

14+ only. 14s to 16s must be accompanied by an adult

The exhibition is open to all from 11am to 5pm, where we'll display the art and design pieces made from the familiar materials we find around us in the form of “litter”.

Everybody is welcome to join this great holiday activity for families, youth groups, charitable groups and individuals.

The workshops are suitable for ages 8+ and you can book your space in one of this 2 slots:

11am-12.45pm or 1.15pm-3pm, from Tue 5th to Sat 9th

To book you place on the free workshops please contact LitterArti at: bookings@litterarti.com or fill in the online form here

If you are a recycling artist or a designer interested in exhibiting, selling your work or just getting involved, please get in touch!

This event follows the litterARTI sculpture Trail that took place during the popular Easton Arts Trail, where litter sculptures co-created by local students and professional recycling artists, like Peter Margerum, were exhibited in Chelsea Park. We also exhibited works created during educational workshops by students from City Academy, and Whitehall Primary and cleaned the park in fancy dress!

Over the past few weeks our much-loved project - which provides a unique inner-city oasis and is a base for activities with children and families, adults with mental health issues and refugee groups - has been hit by a spate of vandalism attempts and fires, one of which has caused serious damage to our Outdoor Kitchen.

Following these incidents, many people have come forward to show their support. We would like to give thanks to all those who have offered to help. Special thanks must go to Incredible Edible Bristol who have generously donated £200 towards repairing the kitchen, as well as The Bristol Wood Recycling Project who have offered to donate wood needed for the rebuild.

We are calling on willing and able volunteers to take part in the mass volunteering day this Sunday, to help clear the site ready for the kitchen-rebuild. Come along, lend a helping hand and share in a celebratory communal lunch made from home-grown ingredients.

If you are unable to help out on the day but would like to show your support you can Text TGDN13 £[the amount you want to donate] to 70070 to make a donation to the Trinity Garden Project.

We are also looking for donations of the following materials to repair the Outdoor Kitchen:

• 15 x straw bales
• sand clay
• 2 x 4m long 4'' diameter round posts
• short self-tapping screws
• 2 x double glazed doors
• 4 x wood shutters
• 12 good hinges
• and a partridge in a pear tree!

We are also hosting Our Big Gig Sunday 13 July with all donations collected on the day going towards the garden project.

Bristol Fire Brigade were called to The Trinity Centre (where the community garden is based) at 3:16 am. They said no-one was believed to have been inside the single-storey outdoor building when the fire started.

Police will investigate the incident, but the cause of the fire is unknown.

The space was built as an outdoor kitchen with the help of an Awards for All grant in 2012 and volunteers had been working on it over the last 2 years, giving their time and resources to improve the space.

Trinity Centre's Manager said "The Community Garden volunteers have done a tremendous amount of work and we feel really sad for them. There is quite a lot of damage."

One of the Community Garden volunteers said "It's really sad to see something like this happen, after we have all worked so hard over the years to keep a welcoming space for the community"

She also said she hoped activities by the groups who used the outdoor kitchen and garden could continue as normal, adding: "It is going to be a lot of work to get everything back to normal but we will hopefully get the support of the community and the people who care about the space"

It will cost the community group hundreds to repair the damage done to the space.

The Trinity Community Garden is a community led, beautiful food growing space which aims to connect people with nature in their own community. The garden also has an orchard, poly-tunnel, a naturally built playground with an outdoor stage and a compost toilet.

The community projects that use the garden grow, forage and cook in the space so that participants get to experience truly sustainable living and the complete food cycle. The space also provides a place for workshops, children's quests, community events and gatherings.

The Trinity Centre will be dedicating the next community event, The Big Gig on Sun 13^th July, to the Community Garden, to help raise funds to repair the damage done.

The Community Garden group will be putting out a list of resources they need to re-build in the next couple of days and are already planing a few days to do the work, so please let us know if you can help.

If you would like to donate funds, please text TGDN13 [the amount you want to donate] to 70070 to donate to the Trinity Community Garden Project or donate to our Garden Appeal

Damon Albarn is a master of smaller, independent, venues. His engaging style and warmth fills even the cosiest of venues, but you never get the feeling his ego or acoustic prowess will extend beyond the walls of this intimate, gothic, Bristol setting. This engagement did however extend into the consciousness of the audience that night, with everyone a riding high on a sense that the former Blur frontman will remember the evening as much as the punters as he blasted out Last Living Souls accompanied by his band, The Heavy Seas.

Next came the dedication of the Gorrilaz’s number Slow Country to Massive Attack which harked back to not only the venues status as the birthplace of the Bristol Sound, but also to alluring atmosphere that has drawn in the aforementioned trip-hop artists and The Prodigy amongst others. Securing these acts is a result of Trinity’s strong musical heritage, and the passion for the intimate, incognito, atmosphere that artists of the calibre of Damon Albarn obviously have.

His crowd pleasing encore involved an 8 strong gospel choir from East London, who supported 2 new songs; Mr Tembo and Heavy Seas of Love. But what got the crowd romping and jumping was a version of Gorillaz’s Clint Eastwood that featured Bristol-based paramedic K*Ners, who when he is not rescuing the sick, rescued the hip-hop sections of the song due to a last minute drop out of Damon’s preferred Snoop Dogg wannabe.

It was refreshing to see Albarn finish on the soporifically sombre - This is a Low, which was both the low note, and the high point, of this particular performance.

Jazz Jamaica is guaranteed to have you on your feet and dancing with their special blend of rock steady rhythms, skanking ska beats, and pumping reggae grooves interweaved with sophisticated jazz swing!

They’ll be laying down some of your best-loved tunes of all time in the process: Skatalites classic, ‘Guns Of Navarone’, Prince Buster’s ‘Al Capone’, and Harry J All Stars’ ‘Liquidator’ to name but a few.

Making a very special guest appearance is the sensational Myrna Hague – an original from the famed Studio One record label (What About Me, How Could I Live…), a pioneer of Lovers Rock and today, Jamaica’s First Lady Of Jazz.

Support will come from the wonderful Bristol Reggae Orchestra, one of the UK’s most inspiring and uplifting community projects. Set up in early 2010, this 30 strong group of musicians from all backgrounds has consistently delighted audiences, at St Paul’s Carnival, festivals and major concert venues in the South West and Wales. Their unique sound has reggae at its heart, but draws in diverse voices from many local communities, including songs and music developed in collaboration with talented refugee musicians.

Put on your dancing shoes and come join the party!

Tickets: £15

0117 929 9008 / 0870 44 44 400

**Please note this event was orginally scheduled for Friday 1st August - all tickets remain valid**

Accompanied by a fantastic band, Myrna and Gary will transport you on a musical journey down memory lane, performing old favourites such as Linstead Market, Yellow Bird, Don't Stay Away, and My Boy Lollipop to inspire you to recall and share your reminiscences of life 'back home'. Come along, join in, and if you feel to dance, get up and shake a leg!

Everyone welcome, especially Elders accompanied by a young person!

What should you expect from a Sunday Assembly event?

Just by being with us you should be energised, vitalised, restored, repaired, refreshed and recharged. No matter what the subject of the Assembly, it will solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a touch of transcendence into the everyday. A Sunday Assembly service consists of songs (usually pop) sung by the congregation, a reading, an interesting talk from scientists, charities, or anyone with an interesting story, a moment of reflection games, and an address which gives a take home message. Afterwards we have tea and cake and a chat.

But life can be tough… It is. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, we have moments of weakness or life just isn’t fair. We want The Sunday Assembly to be a house of love and compassion, where, no matter what your situation, you are welcomed, accepted and loved.

Outside of the event we organise small groups (Smoups), and other social activities such as Wonder More (science) clubs, music groups, peer-to-peer support and local volunteering.

Most of all, have fun, be nice and join in.

Future meetings: Sunday 12th April 2015 / Sunday 3rd May / Sunday 7th June
