Trinity has been selected to be one of 40 community arts centres to take part in Here and Now, a national and local celebration of culture within communities running alongside the National Lottery’s 25 year anniversary.

“After speaking to others who are of mixed heritage, and face a similar challenge of how to keep our mother tongues and cultures alive I realised there was scope to dive deeper into this subject but through music, as music has no borders, can touch us all and unites us rather than divides us.” Roxana Vilk

The project, headed by Future Arts Centres, will see 40 new projects created in community arts centres across the UK, co-created between exceptional artists and community participants.

Trinity will be working with award winning multi-disciplinary British/Iranian Roxana Vilk who will develop her project Lullabies.

Lullabies celebrates the diversity of cultures who call Bristol home by gathering & sharing songs from across the globe. Lullabies connects communities through the sharing of songs, celebrating the stories and the heritage behind them.

Roxana secured an IGNiTE artist residency at Trinity in 2019 where she began collecting Lullabies during her pilot of the project. During her year long residency she delivering a workshop at Easton Community Centre to residents and families living in the BS5 area as well as meeting with Bristol residents to collect recordings.

In 2020 Roxana will be meeting with communities members throughout the year to collect Lullabies alongside hosting workshops, culminating in a celebratory festival event at Trinity later in the year.

Mothers, fathers and children learnt to sing lullabies from around the world at the Easton Community Centre workshop in October 2019.

'Lullabies' sharing at Trinity

Roxana is a British-Iranian artist with a background in physical theatre, film and music. In 2018 Roxana Vilk moved to Bristol from Scotland and started teaching English to refugee women at the Malcolm X Centre. After attending a drop-in for international parents at her son's school, she was inspired to use lullabies to bring communities together. Soon after this, Roxana applied to become an IGNiTE resident

“When I walked into Trinity I thought ‘Ok, this is home" Roxana Vilk

Our community-led approach is what made her chose IGNiTE over other residencies that were available in the area. Joining us gave her a sense of grounding that helped her kick-start her artistic work in Bristol. During her four months with us, she grew her idea from “seed” stage to full blown project.

Roxana developed “Lullabies” together with local communities by collecting, recording and sharing songs from the many cultures in Bristol. Here she was filmed by the BBC during a workshop at Easton Community Centre, delivered in partnership with Up Our Street.

The Trinity team members supported Roxana with project planning, producing and time management guidance. This supported her growth as an artist. Roxana also feels like Trinity’s networks and connections benefited her project. The IGNiTE residency also allowed Roxana to develop new skills and take artistic risks, allowing her to "get out of her comfort zone".

“There’s a deep respect for Trinity amongst artists, and an awareness that there is integrity in any work that is supported by the venue.”

With Trinity's support Roxana is continuing to develop “Lullabies” gathering songs with Bristol-based communities and running workshops culminating a “Lullabies” showcase at Trinity in 2020.

Finally, Roxana feels like IGNiTE really benefit marginalised communities in Bristol. Several people at the Trinity sharing said they had never attended a show or been involved in one before because opportunities are usually not communicated to them. Roxana believes the local engagement work Trinity does, makes it the most distinctive community arts provider in the area.

“If the Arts Council is all about prioritising access to the arts, supporting Trinity and more specifically the IGNiTE programme is a no brainer.”
