Know Yourself
NINE RED Presents… (CIC) was born in a place where people of different backgrounds, cultures, religions and nationalities worked together and played together, where fun and fellowship were the focal point.
NRP was born out of these experiences, reminding us that there are more things that connect us than divide us. We promote cultural diversity in the local community through art exhibitions, events and workshops, with a specific focus on Black History Month exhibitions and workshops.
We have a social aim based around bringing the community together to discover and enjoy cultural and diverse art. Art is an important tool for expression, learning, therapy and healing, and we use our artistic skills to interact, inspire and promote cultural diversity.
Exhibitions
Each exhibition is tailor-made to suit your space and audience and comes with a workbook suitable for KS3 learners aged 11–14.
Workshops
Interactive creative art workshops culminating in a multi-media performance created and produced by participants, featuring exhibition themes.
Events
Using theatre and multi-media arts to provide stunning performing arts events, focusing on multi-cultural arts and histories.
