4000 Years: Queering Redcar’s History

7th December 2024 @ 10:00 am - 1st February 2025 @ 4:00 pm

Free

Redcar Palace is delighted to present “4000 Years…”, an alternative look at Redcar’s history through a queer lens that stretches back into the deep past and casts a glance forward into our possible futures. The exhibition grows out of a collection of research and work by local creatives and community groups, which have collaboratively uncovered new ways of thinking about how our town and area grew and developed.

The research was initiated through a project in collaboration with Historic England over the summer of this year called Redcar Peep and the outcomes of this research will be presented along with artistic responses. Subjects explored include local prehistoric settlements, the petrified forest, literary histories, stories of industry, sport and the lives of those individuals who played a role in building Redcar’s history. It will explore how people from different backgrounds have responded to the sense of freedom that can come from living by the coast.

Redcar Palace is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-4pm. There will be activities running throughout the exhibition, so check out Redcar Palace instagram and facebook @redcarpalace for more details.

Redcar Palace is an arts venue on the Redcar seafront which emerged during the pandemic and as a space to rethink how an arts organisation can build relations with the people around it through our exhibitions, workshops and our honesty shop featuring work by over 60 locally based creatives. Tees Valley Arts joined the Arts Council National Portfolio programme in April 2023.

Our regular programme of events are also still running throughout this time:
• Blooming Youth Collective- Tuesday Evenings 5pm-7pm
• Which Craft? Ladies- Wednesdays 11am-2pm
• Redcar Life Drawing- Thursdays 6pm-8pm £10pp
