There has been a lot of activity going on in the Castlegate area of Sheffield lately. Not just the demolition and the physical changes, but the more subtle development that occur when a new artist studio such as Exchange Place is established and opens its doors to a new community of people.

We are pleased to share with you this short film which focuses on these changes, and the role of artists within the area of Castlegate. The film features our very own Programme Manager; Rachael Dodd and looks at the role of artists in communities and what they might be doing to reflect, or even to help shape what goes on in the world.

The film has been made by Steve Pool. Funded via AHRC Connected Communities Other credits listed in film.
