@BritishArts @FestSerendipity @inBritish Thank-you it was very meaningful for the artists to engage with audiences who appreciated their work in the cultural context of a South Asian country. The immediate connections were unspoken, no need for translation or interpretation. A group of children broke out in smiles.

We're proud to have supported @tweetcraftspace and Midlands artists Roo Dhissou & Nilupa Yasmin in taking their work, shaped by migration, heritage & making, to India at #SerendipityArtsFestival @FestSerendipity, Goa 🇬🇧🇮🇳 @inBritish

@BVSC Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

@goal_info Wonderful well done 👏🏼

The WELL group had a fantastic time this week getting creative with basket making! Using just cups and wool, they crafted some wonderful and unique designs. It was a fun and relaxing activity, bringing everyone together to enjoy a bit of hands on creativity. #creativeexpression

@paperjennifer Thank you for your bravery in sharing life experience, it will no doubt have resonance with many viewers.

Really proud to have my work for @tweetcraftspace 'Made in the Middle' exhibition featured in this month's issue of #embroiderymagazine This is also slightly terrifying as the work I have made is deeply personal, about mental wellbeing and peri menopause

@mac_birmingham Thank you
