💥We are a month into the 2024-25 Lighthouse Young Creatives programme. Our cohort of 17 young creatives got to know each other in their introduction sessions by badge making, building paper birds, and through a series of ice-breakers!

Over the next few weeks, they’ll begin creative and business masterclasses with industry experts. The masterclasses will dive into key creative skills, such as storytelling, sound and field recording, visual art, performance, budgeting, branding and confidence building. The sessions will allow each participant to deepen their understanding and practice in a hands-on way.

The cohort will have the chance to start a personal or group project, applying the new skills they’ve learned. This will be a space for them to explore their unique ideas with support from mentors Sarah Brownlow Photography, Abraham Moughrabi, Maf'j Alvarez and Callum Andrew Johnston, who’ll provide feedback and guidance, helping them navigate challenges and refine their creative approaches. Ideas have already started flowing and the group’s projects will be showcased at an exhibition in March 2025. So watch this space… 🌱

Over the weekend, we welcomed many of you to the Lighthouse Project Space to experience Lost Memories, a video installation for this year’s Dreamy Place. Created by filmmaker and screenwriter Gary Thomas, the installation explores the emotional journey of caring for a loved one with dementia.

Gary interviewed a range of disabled artists and other creatives when curating Lost Memories, learning about their practice and exploring his own unique style of working.

The installation shares his deeply personal journey of caring for his mother, who had Alzheimer’s. It highlights the hidden struggles and rare joys of caregiving, offering recognition to countless carers who support loved ones with dementia.

Many of you praised the film's beauty and its relatable portrayal of contemporary life in the UK, highlighting a system in need of reform.

We’re here to amplify unheard voices, not see them silenced, and that’s becoming increasingly difficult on X.

In recent years, the digital world has changed in ways that have deeply impacted how we, as a charity, interact with our audiences. Social media platforms, once seen as powerful tools for giving everyone a voice—especially those who are often underrepresented—are increasingly becoming places where those voices are being drowned out. It’s made us examine our presence on X, and it's clear it is no longer the right space for us.

X used to be a lively platform where marginalised communities could connect, share their stories, and push for positive change. It’s become a much more hostile environment in recent years. Hate speech, harassment, and targeted attacks have made it unsafe for the people we support to exist.

🗣 At the core of this decision is our dedication to nurturing the next generation of diverse, creative talent and contributing to a richer cultural future. Every step we take as a charity needs to reflect this mission.

This September we’re blessed to programme a two-week residency titled A picture that never fades with the Grant family. They’re a Brighton-based collective of artists spanning multiple generations. The family will bring their collaborative creativity to the Lighthouse Project Space from 2-14 September 2024.

✨ The inspiration for the residency comes from artworks, books, films, and exhibitions, and is underpinned by the idea that a picture or memory never fades. The aim is to reach out in these two weeks and conjure work in a way that evokes that original never-ending sentiment.

The residency programme includes a Speaky Spokey live poetry and music event, and a period of public access showcasing works in progress made by the artists during the residency, alongside a screening of animations by Jazz Grant, and an interactive drawing installation.

This 360 event is a new, re-worked presentation of the 2021 performance of The Informals II, co-commissioned by Lighthouse and Brighton Festival, and developed out of a Re-Imagined residency at Lighthouse in 2019, during which artists Polina and Andreas set out to explore and document Brighton’s sub-cultures and youth cultures.

✨ Polina Medvedeva works within the intersection of film, installation and performance, portraying individuals or communities who exist by circumventing political prohibitions, societal stereotypes, and effects of economic crises and conflicts. Questioning linearity in storytelling, she explores formats that allow for nuance and multiplicity of narratives

🔥 Sound artist Andreas Kühne utilises electroacoustic music, collaborative audiovisual performances and interactive installations to explore non-idiomatic field improvisation as a methodology for interdisciplinary and site-specific art production, presentation and participation.

✨ Phonetic is an artist who is already synonymous with Brighton’s thriving hip hop scene – thanks to her skills on the mic, combined with her unwavering creative drive. She has already earned support slots for a number of notable artists and acts, including Rag’N’Bone Man, Children of Zeus, Skinnyman, LEVELZ, Dr Syntax and Amy True.

🔥 Bobbie Johnson is a Rapper/Producer coming out of the sunny seaside city Brighton. Her work spans conscious thought and social commentary, as showcased on her latest EPs ‘You & I’ and ‘The Defier.’ Over the past few years, she has been supporting the likes of Rag’N’Bone Man, Roots Manuva and has gained the nickname of ‘Rapping Adele’

Open Session #19: Rap, Home and Hope

Meet the speakers for TOMORROW Wednesday 17 July, special Open Session #19: Rap, Home and Hope. We’re lucky to have Aniefiok ‘Neef’ Ekpoudom, a writer and storyteller from South London whose work documents community and culture in contemporary Britain. His debut book Where We Come From: Rap Home and Hope in Modern Britain is a social history of British Rap. It was released via Faber & Faber in January 2024. 💫 Joining Neef are Elsa and Dred, two members of Lighthouse’s Future Creative Leaders. Elsa is a writer and broadcaster working in music, the arts, and with impact-driven organisations. She has a newsletter called Discontented which explores "content" as both a feeling and a symptom of the algorithm. Elsa is a Lighthouse Young Creatives alumni and a current member of the Future Creative Leaders cohort. Brighton-based artist Dred is Influenced by the likes of Nines, Dave, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Nipsey Hussle. Dred uses his relatable lyricism and story-telling ability to deliver musically dense, gritty and catchy UK rap bangers. His content and creative writing point at his own real life experiences and paint vivid pictures, stirring emotions in songs like ‘Otis’, to street ready segments such as ‘Cascades’ which display his real rap foundations through and through. This Open Session is an opportunity for both readers and rap-curious onlookers alike to ask questions and engage with Neef’s work, and will be an open dialogue between speakers and the audience. Date: Wednesday 17 July 2024 Doors: 6.30 PM Event: 7PM - 9PM Location: Lighthouse Project Space, Elder Place, York Hill Corner, BN1 4GH 🔥 Tickets: FREE - https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/lighthouse/open-session-19-rap-hope-and-home/e-vlqavy Many thanks to our funders Artfund and Chalk Cliff Trust for supporting the programme. #FutureCreativeLeaders #LighthouseProjectSpace #Brighton #BrightonAndHove #Hove #BrightonEvent #Creatives #FreeEvent #Rap #Home #Hope #BritishMusic #A
