I met with Councillor Rabnawaz Akbar and Councillor Ahmed Ali on Saturday 16th February.
The meeting was fascinating and we discussed the huge potential of Rusholme as a creative space. Some very interesting ideas emerged which I will explore during my research including:
- The potential for an annual celebration of a Rusholme Festival
- The necessity to reflect the diversity of the local area
- The possibilities of working alongside local businesses
- Encouraging and increasing representation of local people in creative activities
- Taking a collaborative approach to developing Creative Rusholme in order to make it sustainable
- Creative Rusholme as a tool to encourage community pride, raising the standard of the local area and the overall look.
I will now work on developing these ideas further and see what emerges, so watch this space!
