The digital exhibition, Coventry Creates, will show the work of 18 local artists who worked in collaboration with researchers from Coventry University and the University of Warwick

Professor Maxine Berg has teamed up with Oxford-based baroque orchestra, Instruments of Time and Truth, to bring you a series of performances and talks exploring the fascinating, diverse, and often precarious lives of musicians and their patrons in 18th century London.

The concerts will premiere on YouTube every Tuesday in August, beginning tomorrow (Tuesday 4 August) at 7 pm with music by Handel, Abel, and J.C. Bach with Christopher Bucknall and Jon Rees.

Links to the YouTube videos will be shared on Instruments of Truth and Time's twitter and facebook 

Connecting Cultures GRP has supported Congregate, an international online encounter between poets, musicians, artists and critical thinkers.

CONGREGATE: BLACK LIVES MATTER - A SPECIAL RESPONSE

Congregate was due to launch its second season initiated by Soul City Arts and supported by Raise Karma, University of Warwick, and a team of artists, academics and activists. We have recognized the real need to respond to the current situation and show solidarity with the struggle.

On Friday 5 June, 9PM (UK Time), we are collaborating with special guest artists Tshaka Campbell, Zena Edwards and Cleveland Watkiss for a conversation and freeform artistic response exploring what is happening now. Register to watch the stream.

The programmed season will go ahead as planned in the near future, featuring diverse themes and artists

Find out more about the fantastic research projects that have been funded in the first week of our highlight call in response to the COVID-19 crisis.  These range from projects which respond directly the the current crisis and use innovative digital interfaces to keep people and communities connected under lockdown, to funding investments in developing new resources and new software to benefit future research.

The latest round of awards for collaborative research projects contributing to Coventry City of Culture have just been announced. Now in their third year, these collaborative projects are jointly funded between Coventry University and the University of Warwick, and have been granted funding of up to £2,000 for projects to partner with a Coventry-based organisation to undertake locally impactful research that invites the general public to participate. The Partnership’s two previous calls have funded 26 innovative and inclusive projects, and continue to build upon other initiatives such as the Warwick Commission on the Future of Cultural Value, and Coventry City Council’s Cultural Strategy.
