Fusion or confusion: can culture connect us?
Is the street a shared public space? >>
How do we share our (cultural) knowledge? >>
Is the concept of community rooted in a physical space? >>
Should we have swimming pools in all cultural spaces? >>
These are just some of the questions raised and discussed
at our most recent Open Space event at Ocean in Hackney when we asked the
question "Insiders and outsiders: can we share our cultural spaces?" If you
have thoughts, ideas and questions you would like to share, please join us for
the last event in the series, tomorrow, Saturday 2 December.
Just as the creative workshops we are currently
facilitating with east London residents and architecural practice AOC will
inform how the Lift New Parliament looks and operates, so too, will your
collective voice help to shape the programmes and activities inside this new
cultural space.
So, whether you're feeling fused or confused, please join
us.
Saturday 2 December, 10am-7pm at Rich Mix, Bethnal Green
Rd, Tower Hamlets. In partnership with Rich Mix and Artsadmin
Tickets are £7 and £5 concession. To register, please
call 020 7490 3964 or emailn...@liftfest.org.uk.

Development event at the Bank of England
The Lift New Parliament was celebrated at a special event
in the beautiful Court Room of the Bank of England on the 9 November. Hosted by
Lift chair Amelia Fawcett, the evening detailed our exciting plans and made the
invitation to a cross-sector audience to partner in the creation of the Lift
New Parliament.
As guest speaker, the Rt Hon Tessa Jowell MP
enthusiastically endorsed the project; "The initial design for the Lift New
Parliament embodies Lift's innovative approach and is truly unique. It really
is an inspiring project".
Guests attended from a wide range of different
organisations, including East London Business Alliance, the BBC, Arts Council
England and London Thames Gateway Corporation. They included the Rt Hon Stephen
Timms MP, Stephen Dunmore, CEO of the Big Lottery Fund, Graham Mallett of
Thames Water and Bill Morris, CEO of LOCOG.
If you would like to find out how you can work with Lift
to help create the Lift New Parliament please visit our website >>

I Was There 2006
I Was There: The People's Review is a special news review
show that looks back on the stories that made the news in 2006 using footage
shot by people who were there when it happened. Those of you who experienced
The Sultan's Elephant in person or saw it on tv will certainly remember it as
one of the most newsworthy stories of the year.
One of the schools that attended Lift's picnic for 400
schoolchildren, where each school welcomed the Sultan by giving him a time
capsule with mementos from their part of the UK, during the Sultan's visit to
London was Prudhoe Community High School from Northumberland. Their teacher Tim
Smith made a film of their experiences that day which ITV will be using as part
of their programme recapping 2006.
Catch the screening and relive the magic of The Sultan's
Elephant through a spectator's eyes on ITV 1 on New Year's Eve at 10.00pm.
