Inspire libraries across Nottinghamshire are launching this year’s festival with the help of Derbyshire-based artist Emma Reynard.
The project, called Faces, Places is linked to artist Hetain Patel’s project Landing, and is about exploring the relationship between place and belonging, wherever we happen to land.
Primary schools across Bassetlaw have already started to explore their connection to their village or town and have created self-portraits which will create a spectacle of Faces, Places portrait tales as part of a touring exhibition, which launches at Worksop Library on Friday, October 1.
