Panel Discussion: What Matters Short Film

Engagement and awareness of our waterways and their pivotal role in our global ecology has featured significantly in a recent creative project with artist Josh Bilton and pupils from Arbury Primary School in Cambridge.

What Matters was a project and collaboration taking place in 2024/2025. The resulting artworks were displayed at Kettle’s Yard as part of the young people’s exhibition, Paint What Matters, in February 2025. This event will celebrate the project, and provide an opportunity to share the thoughts, reflections and creative responses of these young people with our wider community.

The discussion will also mark the launch of Bilton’s I Felt I was a Bird, a publication created in response to the film. On the panel, Josh Bilton will be joined by Veronica Sekules, Director of Groundworks Gallery.
