What the exhibition is about
- Sheffield Young Residents working alongside the Youth Voice & Influence Service (Community Youth Services) & MyPockets
- To help people connect with one another and with climate change, to start conversations in communities and encourage people to take action.
- For young people’s views, experiences and solutions to feed into long term plans for tackling climate change in the city.
- Creative work around climate change that makes people feel something
Who is involved
A group of 18 young residents aged 11 – 22 years old, have been working together for 12 months on this Climate Change Project. They have consulted with young residents from 20 Youth Clubs and Youth Voice Groups across Sheffield, to create 50 screenprints to showcase what Climate Change means to them.
More info on Youth Voice and Influence Service:
The Youth Voice and Influence Service are part of Community Youth Services at Sheffield City Council. They are made up of a team of professionally qualified youth and community workers with a passion for ensuring young residents voices in the city are heard.
By Youth Voice & Influence we mean listening to young people, valuing what we hear and acting upon it to make positive change.
We support and empower young people to shape, lead and produce their own activities and programmes and make sure the mechanisms are in place for young residents to be involved in decision making at all levels.
We run various youth voice groups in Sheffield that give young residents aged 11– 24 years a way to have their say and work on projects they are passionate about. If you’re interested in getting involved then please contact us via youth.voice@sheffield.gov.uk
Why the exhibition is happening
▪ To explore how climate relates to areas of everyone’s everyday life
▪ To display in a creative form young residents views on Climate Change, the impact it has on their lives and the solutions they would like to see in Sheffield to reduce the impact.
▪ To initiate conversations about Climate Change amongst children and young people, their friends, families, communities, and decision makers
▪ To demonstrate there are numerous ways to take action on Climate Change at all levels & encourage people to make changes; individuals, communities, elected representatives and decision makers.
What it hopes to achieve
▪ A changed mindset and to show how much young residents care about this planet.
▪ To share the power of society when we work together.
▪ To make people think about climate change in a different way than just “save the bees”.
▪ To make a positive change in our industrial and much-loved city of Sheffield
▪ For key people to hear Young Residents voices to influence change.
“I hope that the voice of youths in a place like Sheffield will be heard and that it will be taken seriously and properly by decision makers and politicians to actually make a change”
“I hope that people will learn the power of art and how much climate change affects our daily lives. I want to show that communication goes beyond words, and that different forms of expression can convey emotions, ideas, and experiences in powerful ways.”
“The thing that changes the climate change group is the fact that many people from many different backgrounds, all came together for the same reason, all did the same amount of work and hopefully all of us hope, for a same outcome of this project. Friendships and bonds have been made over this group and I think that makes it special for everyone”
“This project is very raw and shows the impact that all of us can have when we work together. Rather than being a perfect film or poster. This is a collection of emotion and collaboration, which will hopefully resonate with people more”
“I hope the project will teach people to be more aware of the world around them because so many of us think we are in a world made for ourselves when in reality the world is made for everyone and all forms of life”
Tim Gomersall: Birds, buildings, and the banality of evil
Opening Night 18.00-20.00 Thursday 01/05
The Art House is delighted to host Tim Gomersall’s debut solo exhibition, Birds, Buildings, and the Banality of Evil. This exhibition will host the largest selection of Gomersall’s work that has gone on public display to date, including some new pieces and intimate insights into his practice.
Tim Gomersall is inspired by his love of the townscapes and birds of the North, along with Gothic style and storytelling. His work reflects a balance between the real and the surrealism: Through drawing and colour, he attempts to capture what is felt, as well as what is seen. Visitors will be treated to a view of the world through this artist’s eccentric and fantastical eye, and can expect anarchic drawings, vibrant colours, and a good dose of Yorkhire humour.
‘Life in and around the Maasai Mara’ charity art exhibition
An exhibition of work to raise funds for Alton Maasai Girl’s School.
Opening Night Wednesday 19/02 18.00-20.00
A lockdown safari dream leading online art classes for children became a reality the following year when artist Panni Loh was invited to Kenya. Staying in a small camp next to the Maasai Mara she created sketches of people and animals that she’s created into watercolour and acrylic paintings for the ‘Life in and around the Maasai Mara’ exhibition. Visiting a Maasai village and school she was inspired to in some redress the balance and raise funds in the west to support Maasai girls into education collaborating with altonmaasai.org through selling paintings and greetings cards.
All are welcome to the exhibition opening on Wednesday February 19th at 6pm at the Arthouse main gallery when Panni Loh and Rimas Tankile Morris will also give a short talk.

‘Countering Rhetoric’ No Bounds Festival
As part of No Bounds Festival we will exhibit Countering Rhetoric, two new projects by Dr Austin Houldsworth.
Countering Rhetoric
Artist: Dr. Austin Houldsworth
Open: Friday 11/10 – Sunday 13/10
Opening Night: Friday 11/10 18.00-20.30
Opening Times: FRI: 10.00-20.00, SAT: 10.00-16.30, SUN: 10.00-16.00
Artist talks: Sunday at 12.30
In 1860, a Lord stated ‘You must arrive at equality either by levelling down or by levelling up’. 164 years later ‘levelling’ (of any type) is still very much a work in progress. Similarly, the Trickle-Down rhetoric that influenced Margaret Thatcher’s government did little to help the longstanding levelling agenda. The exhibit ‘Countering Rhetoric’ attempts to address this disparity between promises and prosperity. It includes two new projects from Dr Austin Houldsworth that critically investigate the political rhetoric of ‘Trickle-down economics’ and ‘Levelling up’ through the proposition of two interactive alternative wealth redistribution devices that turn rhetoric into reality.
Part of a series of commissions entitled Entanglement, Commons and Cultural Mycelium from curator and producer Amy Carter Gordon. Associate producer: Lauren McConnell.
Dr. Austin Houldsworth: Biography
Dr. Austin Houldsworth (PhD, MA RCA Design Interactions) is an interdisciplinary design researcher with a focus on critical and speculative design. Currently working as a Lecturer in MA Design at Sheffield Hallam University, his research strives to leverage change through the application of design within unfamiliar disciplines. Examples of his work include redesigning monetary systems (‘For money's sake’ 2018), building prototype human fossilisation machines, creating the ‘Intergalactic Space Agency’ at the Eden Project and founding the ‘Future of Money’ design awards.
