Shaping Our Future >>> 27th May 18.00-20.00

SHAPING OUR FUTURE is a creative workshop for young people aged 13–25 exploring how art, architecture and design can actively shape the places we live and the cities we want to see next. What would you design? A youth hub, an indoor skatepark, a gaming centre, a climbing wall, or entirely new kinds of creative space that don’t yet exist but should.

Working alongside artists, architects and creative professionals, and supported and facilitated by See Space Differently CIC with partners including the Royal Institute of British Architects, Scrace Architects and wider collaborators, participants are invited into a hands-on process of making, testing and developing ideas through model-making, spatial thinking, drawing and digital design.

Ideas are explored collaboratively and developed into real proposals for how the city could evolve, opening up dialogue between young people, practitioners and decision-makers. The workshop creates space for imagination, experimentation and genuine civic voice.

Participants will then present and share their work as part of a wider conversation about shaping place, culture and community. SHAPING OUR FUTURE invites young people not just to imagine change, but to help define it.

SHAPING OUR FUTURE is born out of Shape & Shift, a new participatory sculpture by artist and architect Tim Scrace, launches at Salisbury Guildhall on Saturday 2nd May, inviting the community to shape both the work and the culture around it.

Thanks to the support of RIBA South West who have helped enable this project and to Wiltshire Creative for kindly hosting.

Following its launch, Shape & Shift will tour Salisbury, the wider region, and beyond. The installation will be used across exhibitions, workshops, and community-led activity.

At its core, it asks a simple but urgent question: what happens when people are given the tools to shape the spaces they inhabit?

Its message is clear — watch for change, get involved, and help shape both the sculpture and the culture around you.
