Owen GentArtist of the month

Brush strokes and a muted colour palette create landscapes, and solitary figures that incite your imagination to conjure narratives of solitude and longing. You won’t be surprised to hear that Owen’s work is often influenced by literature; most notably a project based on a 16th centaury folk ballard, Molly Bawn. While recently he was commissioned to create an advertising campaign for The Samaritans; an emotive yet sensitive poster series exploring the main causes of depression and most importantly inviting those in need to reach out. owengent.com

June is upon us, and we have many exciting workshops,

screenings, classes and courses to kick start your summer.

Come along to the interactive Energy Lab where kids and grown-ups can bring

energy to life with ingenious contraptions, bought to you by Bristol Energy Co-op

and local inventor Matt Venn (page 7).

Do you like making other people happy? Then you’ll love The Smile Instigation

Collective, a group aimed at creating anonymous acts of kindness to make strangers

smile! (Page 7.)

Feeling exotic? Get cooking this summer with the Full Power Masala Indian

cookery course (Page 8).

Discover the mystical world of the Sufi’s

sail to Europe in a pirogue - a traditional Senegalese fishing vessel. Through their voyage they face the increasing turbulence of the sea,

the strangers with whom they share their journey, and the possibility of never reaching their destination.

With the recent tragedies in the Mediterranean where hundreds of people have died trying to reach Europe for a better life, coupled with

rising tensions around immigration, CoResist invites you to use this critically acclaimed feature film as a lens through which to explore

these sensitive and compelling issues.coresist.org
