24 February: Connected

The Banned - rock band

Featuring short documentary screenings from Sheffield DocFest and performances by ‘The Banned’, get ready for an afternoon dedicated to celebrating creativity in all forms!

Get creative, collaborate and connect with those around you

Featuring short documentary screenings from Sheffield DocFest about brilliant creativity all across the world, performances by local autism-led rock band ‘The Banned’ and a collaborative group workshop, this event shows that whatever your background you have the right to create, belong and be inspired.

Hosted by Children's Capital of Culture trainees at Sheffield DocFest, come along for an afternoon dedicated to equal opportunities in music and the wider arts and the celebration of creativity in all forms. They aim to challenge preconceived notions of the capabilities of underrepresented artists, and allow people a chance to reflect and give opportunities to these groups.

Learn a new skill, discover a creative passion you didn’t know you had, and be inspired by an atmosphere of unrivalled collaborative creativity.
