SMASHfestUK 'Earth and Sky' Tour @ Gloucester Library and Town Centre 28th October 2017.
SMASHfestUK went on the final leg of our 'Earth and Sky' tour, heading to Gloucester. With sponsorship from the Royal Academy of Engineering, the UK Space Agency and the support of Middlesex University, the University of Greenwich, Gloucester Libraries and lots of wonderful local engineers, artists and scientists, volunteers and organisations, we built an indoor/outdoor festival, across two sites, with the Survival Village and Space Camp erupting out of the Supervolcano into the centre of of the Library and the Bowling Green behind! Thank you to everyone who visited, participated and contributed. It was another blazingly bright, uplifting and AWESOME day! Another amazing day battling inequality and underrepresentation in STEM and the Arts by engaging with a neglected community through a compelling story, with interdisciplinary knowledge and experiences creating intergenerational learning. Another amazing day building Science and Cultural Capital in a community, with the community. A grand finale for our UK-wide SMASHing tour!
