More info about the project and artists residency at The Mills Archive:
The Mills Archive, based at Watlington House is collaborating with Jelly on an exciting project called Reading emPOWERed which draws on the Archive’s material and covers the history of wind and water power around the world, including the local area. Wind and water power has fed and clothed us all for thousands of years, and the subject provides opportunities to learn about where our food comes from, how renewable energy has been used over time and how this is now being explored to help address current issues like climate change. This project will provide new education programmes on wind and waterpower with local and cultural context, and will offer pathways to understand how the heritage relates to Reading’s past and present.
This free workshop is made possible due to funding by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, made possible by National Lottery players
