SUMMARY:Tending to the Centres: RESOLVE Collective
DESCRIPTION:RESOLVE Collective bring Tending to the Centres\, a collab
 orative community project\, to Orleans House Gallery’s Study Gallery.
  \n\nTending to the Centres is a collaboration between three local lib
 raries: Ham\, East Sheen and Whitton. The project celebrates the im
 portant role these libraries play in nurturing strong communities. I
 t also looks ahead to imagine what their future could be. \n\nThis ex
 hibition at Orleans House Gallery shows a series of creative displays in
  the Study Gallery. These reflect the process and inner workings of Tend
 ing to the Centres. It archives intimate moments from the project\; conv
 ersations\, construction sketches\, material forages and long delivery j
 ourneys. The exhibition brings together all the events\, activities and
  collaborations that have happened in the libraries so far. Together
 \, they tell the story of the project’s journey. \n\n&nbsp\;\n\nColl
 aborative Library Workshops \n\nIn Spring 2025\, RESOLVE ran Library
  Logs workshops. These invited local library-goers to imagine themselv
 es as libraries. Participants were asked ‘what experiences\, memorie
 s\, and passions would you borrow and lend from one another?’  \n\
 nBuilding on these workshops\, RESOLVE created a series of ‘briefs
 ’ with the participants. Each brief contained prompts and ideas f
 or a collaboratively produced structure. These structures would tempo
 rarily inhabit the libraries and respond to their unique contexts. The t
 hemes explored including ‘archiving’\, ‘play’ and the librar
 y as a ‘stage’. \n\nDuring a series of collaborative workshops RES
 OLVE and the participants built the structures using entirely recycl
 ed materials from the libraries. In East Sheen\, the structure was a 
 pop-up stage. It was hand-made by local young people\, with characters 
 drawn by community members. In Whitton\, they created a mini-ball pi
 t from old artboards and office chairs. In Ham\, they reimagined a 
 historic archive shelf. It was drilled\, screwed and spray-painted b
 y young library-goers. \n\n \n\nLibrary Lates \n\nA series of Library
  Late events brought the co-created structures to life. On Thursday 1
 1th September 2025\, curator and cultural producer Avni Patel brought th
 e mini-ball pit in Whitton library to life. Her event explored the ro
 le of 'play' in her practice. Activities inside and outside the librar
 y\, invited participants to engage with playful creativity in unexpected
  ways. \n\nOn Thursday 2 October 2025\, creative producer and educator 
 Dhiyandra Natalegawa activated the pop-up stage in East Sheen. Her eveni
 ng event shared her embodied mapping practice. Participants explored whe
 re and when they feel most creative and inspired. \n\nThe final event t
 ook place on Wednesday 8 October 2025. Artist and facilitator Francesca 
 Telling led the activation of the archive shelf. Her event explored inst
 itutional memory and the idea of archives of erasure. \n\n \n\nTending
  to the Centres was commissioned as part of the Richmond Arts and Ideas 
 Festival and funded by Arts Council England. \n\n \n\nAbout RESOLVE c
 ollective \n\nRESOLVE is an interdisciplinary design collective that c
 ombines architecture\, engineering\, technology and art to address soc
 ial challenges. They have delivered numerous projects\, workshops\, pu
 blications\, and talks in the UK and across the world. All of which look
  toward realising just and equitable visions of change in our built en
 vironment. \n\nMuch of RESOLVE’s work aims to provide platforms for 
 the production of new knowledge and ideas. An integral part of this way
  of working means designing with and for young people and under-represen
 ted groups in society. \n\n&nbsp\;\n\nCelebration Event \n\nJoin us to
  celebrate the coming together of Tending to the Centres.\n\n28th Jan\,
