                      Fusion or confusion: can culture connect us?

                      Is the street a shared public space? >>
                      How do we share our (cultural) knowledge? >>
                      Is the concept of community rooted in a physical space? >>
                      Should we have swimming pools in all cultural spaces? >>

                      These are just some of the questions raised and discussed at our most recent Open Space event at Ocean in Hackney when we asked the question "Insiders and outsiders: can we share our cultural spaces?" If you have thoughts, ideas and questions you would like to share, please join us for the last event in the series, tomorrow, Saturday 2 December.

                      Just as the creative workshops we are currently facilitating with east London residents and architecural practice AOC will inform how the Lift New Parliament looks and operates, so too, will your collective voice help to shape the programmes and activities inside this new cultural space.

                      So, whether you're feeling fused or confused, please join us.

                      Saturday 2 December, 10am-7pm at Rich Mix, Bethnal Green Rd, Tower Hamlets. In partnership with Rich Mix and Artsadmin

                      Tickets are £7 and £5 concession. To register, please call 020 7490 3964 or emailnews at liftfest.org.uk.

                     Development event at the Bank of England

                      The Lift New Parliament was celebrated at a special event in the beautiful Court Room of the Bank of England on the 9 November. Hosted by Lift chair Amelia Fawcett, the evening detailed our exciting plans and made the invitation to a cross-sector audience to partner in the creation of the Lift New Parliament.

                     
                      As guest speaker, the Rt Hon Tessa Jowell MP enthusiastically endorsed the project; "The initial design for the Lift New Parliament embodies Lift's innovative approach and is truly unique. It really is an inspiring project".

                      Guests attended from a wide range of different organisations, including East London Business Alliance, the BBC, Arts Council England and London Thames Gateway Corporation. They included the Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP, Stephen Dunmore, CEO of the Big Lottery Fund, Graham Mallett of Thames Water and Bill Morris, CEO of LOCOG.

                     I Was There 2006

                      I Was There: The People's Review is a special news review show that looks back on the stories that made the news in 2006 using footage shot by people who were there when it happened. Those of you who experienced The Sultan's Elephant in person or saw it on tv will certainly remember it as one of the most newsworthy stories of the year. 
                      One of the schools that attended Lift's picnic for 400 schoolchildren, where each school welcomed the Sultan by giving him a time capsule with mementos from their part of the UK, during the Sultan's visit to London was Prudhoe Community High School from Northumberland. Their teacher Tim Smith made a film of their experiences that day which ITV will be using as part of their programme recapping 2006.

                      Catch the screening and relive the magic of The Sultan's Elephant through a spectator's eyes on ITV 1 on New Year's Eve at 10.00pm.
