OUR INCREDIBLE JOURNEY CONTINUES After the extraordinary start of Hull 2017’s opening season, Made in Hull, where this city proudly left the world in no doubt of its vibrant past and confident future, we continue with our second chapter, Roots & Routes.

Here, we’ll explore Hull’s unique place as a gateway to Europe and one of the world’s busiest ports: its maritime history and global connections; the arrivals and departures that create stories of the city.

Through a rich three months of events, we’ll underline the contribution of the brilliant people and ideas travelling in and out of Hull, continuing the precedent set at the start of the year: some elements instantly accessible and familiar, others that surprise, challenge and defy expectation.

In Roots & Routes, we’ll celebrate international links from Rotterdam to Reykjavik, creating a natural progression to our third season, Freedom, where we’ll explore the city’s pivotal role in the emancipation movement and the links established with its twin city of Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Join us as we embark on the next stage of this incredible journey.

LOOK UPLook Up is a year-long programme of temporary artworks made for the city’s public spaces and places. The first Look Up installation was the 75 metre wind turbine blade in Hull City Centre.

During seasons two and three, Look Up will commission works in shopping centres, car parks, streets and public squares, by artists including Bob & Roberta Smith (see our Freedom season guide), Tania Kovats, Chris Dobrowolski and Claire Morgan.

Two of these are co-commissions with The Deep. Chris Dobrowolski’s work (March to May) will look at environmental concerns around plastics and our oceans. And in August, Tania Kovats, working closely with The Deep’s staff, will create a large scale sculptural work, BLEACHED, which responds to the beauty of coral and its fragile position in the ecosystem.

THE TRAIN TRACK AND THE BASKETBY CLAIRE BARBER

Between 1848 and 1914, more than two million people arrived into Hull by ship from mainland Europe, and left by train to the transatlantic ports of Liverpool and Southampton, seeking new lives in the New World. This mass movement of people, many of whom were in Hull for just a few hours, ended abruptly with the outbreak of the First World War.

Claire Barber’s installation at Hull’s Paragon Station, part of the Look Up programme, explores the phenomenon of ‘transmigration’, and the notion that skills and belongings traverse transport routes alongside people.

“My work is partly inspired by social narrative painting made at the time of transmigration, which captures loss, lament and excitement at a new beginning.

“It’s also drawn from personal travelling experiences, through Outer Mongolia, Australia, New Zealand and Iceland, and particularly the idea of looking at what people take with them on a journey, both as luggage and in terms of their culture and craft skill.

“The transmigrants carried large woven baskets on their journey through Hull, and brought skills such as double cloth weaving, while absorbing the skills of others.

They adapted their techniques to the materials available to them in a new country.

“The train station today, with its constant movement of people, continues to mirror the weaving process: the action of double weaving, layers crossing over layers, countless patterns created every time people enter and exit. As individuals weave in and out, carrying luggage that reflects who they are, they too add and take new influences in an ever-changing space.”

SOMEWHEREBECOMING SEAIn this exhibition of international artists’ work with the moving image, we take a closer look at the ever-changing boundaries between land and sea, exploring Hull’s longstanding prominence as a gateway to the North Sea and beyond.

Featuring artists including Lavinia Greenlaw, Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen, Simon Faithfull and Cecilia Stenbom, Somewhere Becoming Sea reflects how expanses of water that divide countries are also channels that connect them.

At a time when climate change threatens to blur boundaries further and bring far-reaching economic impact, the exhibition captures the sea’s elemental power and asks: is everywhere now Somewhere Becoming Sea?

As part of Hull ’s learning programme, No Limits, all students in Hull schools have the chance to be involved in a vast range of projects. One of these projects is First Story.

First Story believes that writing can transform lives, and that there is dignity and power in every young person’s story. We bring professional writers into secondary schools to work with teachers and students to foster creativity and communication skills.

In Hull, in partnership with Hull 2017, acclaimed writers Russ Litten, Christina Lewis, Lee Harrison, Peter Knaggs and Kerry Drewery have been delivering engaging residencies

as after-school workshops at five schools since September 2016: Newland School for Girls, Sirius Academy West, Sirius Academy North, St Mary’s College and Winifred Holtby Academy. The students are hard at work on anthologies of poetry and prose to be launched in June, reflecting a city at the start of a new chapter.

Now is your chance to discover amazing untruths about the most intriguing artefacts. Exploring a quirky cornucopia of stuff, this exhibition draws on the comedy writing talents of Hull’s youngsters, joined by one of Britain’s best-loved comedians, Bill Bailey.

And we might reveal the equally unusual truth behind the collection too.

Produced with the Burton Constable Hall Foundation. Broader Curious Collections project supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund. Bill Bailey’s involvement supported by Hull City Council.

THE HESSLE ROADERS: HULL’S FISHING COMMUNITY

Hessle Roaders lived both a magic and tragic life, their community spirit linked with the perilous work of trawling Arctic waters. In 1971, with his Rolleicord camera around his neck, Alec Gill began to photograph the community.

His pictures captured children playing on the streets, neighbours gossiping in the terraces and life at sea on board a trawler.

Taken over a period of thirty years, the exhibition features a selection from over 6,600 striking images, documenting a close-knit community during a time of dramatic social change.

HULL UK CITY OF CULTURE FISHING HERITAGE ARTEXHIBITIONThe first of many exhibitions to be held at the newly renovated St John the Baptist Church, and supported by community heritage groups, local artists, choirs and school children, this new exhibition of art and music will bring together a new generation, to tell the story of the glory days of Hull’s fishing heritage.

A plaque commemorating losses of Hull and Reykjavik fishermen will be unveiled by the Bishop of Hull in a service of thanksgiving and celebration.

Led by artist Sarah Louise Davies drawing on pioneering community ParkBench, this collaboration between two social inclusion charities, The Sobriety Project and Castaway Goole Accessible Music Theatre, brings a brand new production by experienced learning disabled actors, performed on board the Humber keel barge Sobriety.

With a series of shows both on and off shore in Hull Marina, Sobriety will also become a pop-up creative space in between performances, bringing interactive theatre, spectacle and music, before a celebratory final departure.

HULL UK CITY OF CULTURE AND NEU! REEKIE!

A gathering of time-served trouble-makers, spoken word rebels and leftfield music pioneers converge on the city to ask today’s counter-culture the question with which David Bowie kissed us goodbye.

The UK has reached a political crossroads. Dark divisive forces of racism and prejudice are stirring across Europe in the wake of Brexit and across the Atlantic following the election of Donald Trump.

We need to ask our artists, filmmakers, musicians and writers where they stand.

FEATURING BANDS FROM HUMBER STREET SESH

ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS EVERYTHING


A three-act anthem about a generation promised everything. But what happens when dreams don’t become reality?

This is the story of a million beating hearts and an asteroid with other plans.

An anarchic theatrical epic, performed at one of the city’s best-loved nightclubs and featuring some of the region’s favourite bands.

Critically acclaimed Hull theatre company Middle Child are back with a new piece of gig theatre, mixing original live music from James Frewer with Luke Barnes’

bold new writing and direction from Artistic Director Paul Smith. Live and loud, this is Middle Child at their best.

Middle Child is an associate company of Paines Plough and a supported artist of Hull Truck Theatre.


Grab your friends, family and a picnic, and enjoy free opera and ballet outdoors on the big screen this summer. BP Big Screens brings the best of The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera to Hull in three free outdoor screenings, relayed directly from the Royal Opera House stage in Covent Garden to Zebedee’s Yard.

The series begins with a triple bill of The Royal Ballet’s The Dream/Symphonic Variations/Marguerite and Armand, before continuing with La traviata, Verdi’s tragic tale told in a sumptuous production, and Turandot, Puccini’s spectacular opera.

Each screening also includes exclusive backstage films and competitions.

BY AMANDA WHITTINGTON, DIRECTED BY MARK BABYCH

The gloves are on!

In a struggling pub on one of Hull’s toughest streets, ex-pro boxer Taylor Flint runs a women’s boxercise class. For Lauren, Jazz, Aneta and Grace, the class is much more than a way to lose weight and have a laugh – they’re fighting the grinding challenges of everyday life.

When the pub is threatened with closure, the women agree to be part of an unlicensed fight night to raise money and rally the community. They’re ready to prove themselves in a world that shows them little respect, but Taylor knows that once the gloves are on, the real test will be going toe to toe with friends and neighbours.

Inspired by Hull’s original Mighty Atom, Barbara Buttrick, this new play by award-winning writer Amanda Whittington (Ladies Day, Be My Baby, Amateur Girl) pulls no punches.

TRENT FALLS TO SPURN POINT: A SOUND PORTRAIT OF THE HUMBER ESTUARY

The world premiere of an original, multi-channel sound installation from internationally acclaimed and BAFTA award-winning sound artist Chris Watson.

Chris has deep ties to the North of England and has travelled the world collecting sounds.

One of the world’s leading recorders of wildlife and natural phenomena,

This three-dimensional sound sculpture follows the ebbing tide, from the confluence of the rivers Trent and Ouse.

An enthralling journey along the Humber Estuary andout into the rich melodies of the North Sea, experienced

at the Gulbenkian Centre using sound, space and light as evocation.
