SUMMARY:Leah Foulkes Solo Exhibition (Independents Biennial)
DESCRIPTION:Make CIC are proud to announce the first exhibition in our new gallery space at our North Docks Site – Sculptor Leah Foulkes\, in collaboration with the 2025 Independents Biennial. \nThe exhibition will be open Monday – Saturday from 11am – 4pm from Friday the 17th of July – Saturday 9th August 2025. \n  \nArtist Statement \nI have always been fascinated by architecture extending to the appreciation of the derelict\, \ndilapidated and decayed. The contrasting properties of materials found within the urban \nlandscape have informed the development of my current sculptural language. I often use \nmaterials and objects taken directly from the built environment without changing their \nfound characteristics in the construction process. The work I am creating is about the formal \nqualities of materials and how I can disrupt or enhance these qualities. I enjoy testing the \nlimits of materials and exploring the ways to manipulate them into new forms or combine \nthem in unexpected ways. Space\, form and materials are all things I consider when making \nthe pieces\, being informed by the space they will occupy and how the forms created will \nchallenge that space. \n  \nArtist’s Biography \nLeah Foulkes is a recent Fine Art graduate from Wrexham University and is now a studio \nholder at Stwidio Olivet\, where she has spent time producing abstract sculptures inspired by \nurban and industrial areas\, through a process of material exploration. The contrasting \nproperties of materials found within the urban environment have formed the development \nof her current sculptural language. She predominantly works on large scale three- \ndimensional pieces but occasionally dips into painting and drawing too. Growing up in \nEllesmere Port has inspired many of Leah’s use of materials\, in particular industrial materials \nmore commonly used in construction and architecture. Leah enjoys testing the limits of \nmaterials and exploring the ways to manipulate them into new forms or combine them in \nunexpected ways.

SUMMARY:Borderline Project by Shiro MASUYAMA
DESCRIPTION:Shiro Masuyama\, a Japanese artist based in Belfast\, Northern Ireland\, converted the interior of a used caravan into two parts—one half related to Irish culture and the other half to British culture. Many of the items\, symmetrically displayed on their respective sides\, have counterparts in both cultures. \nSince moving to Northern Ireland in 2010\, he has often been unsure about the distinctions between Irish and British culture within the complex society of the region. The project has helped him learn and understand the nuances of culture through discussions with people he has encountered who have physically entered the caravan. He has continued to develop the work by constantly adding objects and correcting/adapting the display. Over time\, the caravan has transformed into a small museum of culture; however\, he has struggled to maintain an equal balance between the Irish and British aspects. \nAs he is Japanese\, he has been able to conduct the project from an outsider’s perspective and to bring a degree of neutrality to his approach—he is not religious\, and he doesn’t have any political leanings. \nHe finds it really meaningful to show the caravan in Liverpool\, which is widely known for having the strongest Irish heritage of any UK city. \nArtist bio : \nShiro MASUYAMA is originally from Japan. His master’s degree in architecture has influenced his art projects\, which primarily take the form of site-specific architectural interventions. Using his architectural background and his Japanese identity\, he makes projects that fundamentally connect people and society— so-called socially engaged art. He believes interaction with people often brings unexpected results. It’s one of the most important processes and components in completing an artwork. \nHe moved to Belfast\, Northern Ireland after completing international residencies at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin\, Ireland (2006)\, and Flax Art Studios in Belfast\, Northern Ireland (2009)\, and has been based there ever since. As an artist from Japan who has made their home in Northern Ireland\, he is in a unique position to question how identity can be influenced by the dominant political forces surrounding us. \nHe has attended numerous exhibitions worldwide\, including ‘BIENALSUR 2021 – The State of Things’\, MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art Rosario\, Argentina (2021); ‘Aichi Triennale 2013 : Awakening’\, Nagoya\, Japan (2013). \nhttps://www.shiromasuyama.net/

SUMMARY:FLIPIM 2025 - Flipping conversations on homes and highstreets
DESCRIPTION:About this event \nOn Friday 26th September\, Make CIC and Future Yard CIC are hosting a day of conversation focused on two vital\, connected topics: housing and high streets. Too often\, the people doing the real work on the ground aren’t included in high-profile events. We’re flipping that script; bringing together doers\, experts\, policymakers\, and community voices to shape the conversation. \nWhy now? Because big questions need broad perspectives: \nHow can we deliver 1.5 million new homes before the end of this Parliament and empower community solutions?\nWhat will it take to reverse high-street decline and future-proof our places amid rapid technological change? \nThis event will be a space to listen\, share\, debate\, and co-create ideas. We’ll gather insights found in presentations\, workshops\, panels\, and discussions from across the day\, into a response that we plan to present to the Labour Party Conference the following week. \nTickets will include refreshments & food. \nPlease note: the Access Bursary ticket requires an application process.

We’ll be exploring how arts & culture could offer an alternative form of patriotism that makes people feel welcome and challenges negative ideas about national identity. \n\nHow can arts & culture be heard amongst large scale regeneration and political headwinds?\n\nIn the shadow of a £800 million stadium development\, we will discuss how arts & culture generates value that can supercharge regeneration and the challenges associated with individuals and organisations being taken seriously in the conversation. \nWe will be welcoming speakers from across the creative industries.  From grassroots venues & festival operators\, to educators\, policy makers\, funders\, artists\, & more. \nLiam Naughton (Managing Director\, Invisible Wind Factory) & Liam Kelly (CEO\, Make CIC) will also be giving presentations detailing the stories of IWF & Make\, the struggles they have faced and what the future holds for the North Docks Cultural Cluster.
