Flux Rotherham

By 2030, Rotherham will be a true cultural democracy

The envy of other places, our compendium of destinations will draw visitors from across the nation to experience our imaginative work, characterised by our reputation for pushing boundaries, engineering excellence, living green and the art of activism, as well as by the warmth of our Rotherham welcome. Co-created with our residents, our cultural activities will be popular, relevant and much-loved.

This is our vision.

It builds upon the rich heritage of innovation and creativity, from steel and coal to glass, pottery, and artisan crafts. Rooted in this tradition it seeks to look forward to a time when our borough is known is for its culture, art, creativity and quality of life, and our communities are its bold, confident, and empowered architects.

Robot Selfie is coming to Rotherham

A wall-drawing robot will create a massive mural of Young People’s faces in the heart of All Saints Square in Rotherham. Robot Selfie by UK-based production studio Kaleider, is a collaboration between audience, AI technology, artist and robot.

From January we will ask children and young people to be part of this extraordinary artwork and submit their selfies, which will be spray painted onto the 10 x 8 metre canvas by the robots between 22nd and 25th February.

The art installation is a part of the very first Rotherham Skate and Arts Festival, bringing an exciting programme of outdoor performance, floor murals, art workshops, music and street food.

The full programme and more exciting news will be announced very soon.

The festival is a part of a wider Children’s Capital of Culture launch event, celebrating the best of Rotherham’s art and heritage, inspired and created by Children and Young People in Rotherham.
