Home Manchester & Anew Launch Art Residency to Tackle Substance Use

Home Manchester, a renowned cultural hub, has joined forces with Anew, an organisation specialising in transformative change and societal evolution, to launch an innovative artistic residency project. The aim is to investigate the role of arts in overcoming substance use issues.

The project, initiated by Home Manchester, is part of their ongoing efforts to invite international artists and practitioners to develop new, interdisciplinary approaches, particularly in the realm of art and society. Collaborating with Anew, they have started an experimental, participatory process to explore how art can address social issues like substance use, fostering empathy and resilience.

The project, led by Portraits of Recovery, a UK contemporary arts organisation, involves Designer Joe Hartley making twice-weekly visits to Anew. Hartley has been working with around 60 people in the recovery process, creating artworks across various disciplines like ceramics and photography. The works will be exhibited at Manchester's Castlefield Gallery until 19 October. The project aims to give visibility to marginalised voices, including the recovery community, and to make social change through arts and culture, focusing on recovery journeys. It also challenges the isolation often felt by people in recovery, fostering community and connection.

The residency project in Greater Manchester, a collaboration between Home Manchester and Anew, is using art to explore and address substance use issues. The works created during the residency will be exhibited at Manchester's Castlefield Gallery, offering a platform for marginalised voices and promoting social change.
