Common Ground: Sleaford’s Shared Stories

This major new collaboration with Sleaford Museum will explore local heritage through contemporary art and community participation. About The project will culminate in new exhibitions presented at both the Hub and Sleaford Museum, with new artist commissions and residencies shown alongside heritage and historical objects. Together, these will unearth and reinterpret objects from Sleaford Museum’s collection. Through creative interventions and intergenerational dialogue, Common Ground: Sleaford’s Shared Stories will offer new perspectives on local heritage and create a platform for diverse community voices. Central to the project is the question: who and what has historically been excluded from regional heritage and cultural spaces, and how can this be actively changed? This exhibition is the second in the trilogy Sleaford: People, Place, Possibility , which focuses on our local context. It follows the exhibition Together We Are Powerful (2023), which brought together shared stories and foregrounded the power that lies in togethering. Commissioned Artists: Madara Vimba , Emily Andersen , Andrew Bracey, Harriet Plewis, Liz Kelleher , Danica Maier , Dino Zhang and Madhu Manipatruni This project has been made possible by the Art Fund’s Reimagine programme, with support from Lincoln Museum, who are supporting an artist commission.
