This expansive and celebratory exhibition marks three years of Making Place, our long-term community programme looking at how we learn from the city and how we use public space. Explore images, objects, sound, and video from across the Making Place programme, join us as we celebrate, share, and reflect on past projects, and take part in events to generate ideas for the future. 

Through mapping, making, workshops, storytelling, walks, design, play, and public artworks, the Making Place programme explores three central questions: What do places inherit, and whose histories are preserved? Who imagines the city? And how can communities interrupt, activate and re-imagine public space? 

As we begin to collectively emerge from the pandemic, questions about how we imagine shared spaces and who can shape the future of neighbourhoods take on even more significance. We look forward to welcoming you back to Primary, creating a safe environment for imaginative, creative work, and facilitating inclusive spaces to rebuild community.  

The Making Place programme is supported by Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, National Lottery Community Fund, Castle Cavendish, Nottingham City Council, the Windrush Day Grant, Nottingham City Homes, Near Now, and Near Neighbours. 

We’re currently only able to provide level access to the project space and studios on our ground floor. This exhibition is split across our ground floor and mezzanine space.
