We’re thrilled to announce that Tangram is working with Artichoke on two landmark projects this year: The Gallery Season 5 - It's Not Easy Being Green and Lumiere - the UK's Light Art Biennale in Durham. These initiatives perfectly align with our passion for creative placemaking with impact and the transformative power of public art to connect communities and shape vibrant places.

Our collaboration includes traditional communications and also encompasses a strategic approach that highlights Artichoke’s unique role at the intersection of culture, public space, and global partnership. For The Gallery, we're working closely with stakeholders at the British Council Brazil, and with local partners in Durham for Lumiere. We’re excited to support campaigns that elevate profile and amplify the impact of these internationally significant cultural events.

Storytelling with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust

Workshop with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust

Last month, we were invited up to Ambergate by Lisa Witham, Executive Director of Communities and Connection at Derbyshire Wildlife Trust (DWT), to deliver an immersive Storytelling session for the entire team. In what was definitely a first for Tangram, the workshop was held in an amazing barn, which is owned by DWT as part of their Common Farm Rewilding Site.

Over the course of a rather rainy morning, we explored the ingredients of a good story and encouraged all of the participants to create stories inspired by everyday encounters and the organisation's new Wilder by Nature brand manifesto. The eventual result was the co-development of some unique Storytelling principles which will help nurture amazing Wilder by Nature stories in future.
