intro A
fter twelve months of celebration to mark our 20th anniversary, you’d be forgiven for thinking our 21st year might be a quieter affair. 2016-2017 has been a different year but certainly no less full of activity, endeavour and excitement! As we look back on the period of April 2016 – March 2017 and onwards into 2018, one image has cropped up surprisingly regularly: the key. The key is traditionally associated with the 21st birthday - the number we're marking in this year's report. The key also gave its name to a series of artworks that have been part of Knowle West Media Centre since the paint was still wet and the straw bales freshly compacted in the exterior walls. The Keys Commissions were created ten years ago by seven artists to mark the opening of KWMC on 14th February 2008, when the keys to our new building were symbolically passed from the builders to the young people who had been central to the design process.
The significance of the key doesn’t end there: a decade on from the completion of a new home for Knowle West Media Centre, we are again collaborating with architects White Design to develop new spaces and opportunities to combine creativity, sustainability and community-led innovation in Knowle West... The We Can Make Homes programme has seen the creation of a prototype house and has raised many important questions about the future of housing in the UK, including how communities can have greater influence over what is built in their area. As we move into the next phase of the programme, we hope that We Can Make will enable many people in Knowle West to obtain the keys to a high-quality home that meets their needs and aspirations – some perhaps for the first time. Finally, our hope for this report and the many projects it details is that they will inspire people across Bristol and beyond to recognise that in order for lasting positive change to be seen in our cities and communities people's needs must be at the heart of innovation. For this potential to be unlocked, the influence, collaboration, diversity and skills of our communities are key.
comment I
t’s often hard to explain in a few sentences exactly what we do at Knowle West Media Centre. People may know us for an activity they have been involved in, because they are interested in arts, media or technology, or they want to learn a new skill, express themselves, run a campaign or participate in exploring ideas as part of a research programme. Here are a few words, supported by examples in this report, that I hope will help to explain some of the many things we do...
Our key objectives are to: ǻ Build tools, skills and places, with people, that support positive social change. ǻ Shape the way we live in the future through experimentation and sharing ideas with people. ǻ Make visible the existing cultural wealth of communities. We make these things happen by: ß Putting our belief in creative communities and the power of ‘the arts’ into action, working with artists and a constantly evolving arts practice. ß Delivering high-quality innovation projects and co-design processes. ß Focusing on communities and the difference we want to make, empowering people to take action and achieve change, learn digital skills and be ‘smarter’ citizens.
We continue to run Bristol’s Living Lab, as part of a wider global network of organisations, communities, and universities who believe in working with people in ‘real life’ environments to co-design ways to achieve a fairer, more inclusive world. We are delighted to have developed a new community facility, KWMC: The Factory, at Filwood Green Business Park. This accessible digital micro-manufacturing space was born out of the Eagle House Pop Up Furniture Factory and now offers a wide range of making courses and activities. We are also extremely proud of the young people we have supported. They have demonstrated how powerful young people can be when campaigning about issues they care about, such as the Change Creators campaigns about food waste and mental health services for their peers, and how successful they can be when supported to learn skills and work on commissions, as is the case with the young creatives of Eight (www.eight.org.uk). Please do commission Eight for your next website, film, game, or brochure if you want a fresh view on "all things creative"! We have also spent time this year exploring how we can improve how we share what we do and what we are learning with others across the city and internationally, and have worked hard as a team to share our values, our vision, and our future programme. There is always more to do but I hope this annual report goes some way to outline how much has been achieved to date and to share ideas about how you might get involved, participate, contribute, share, learn, or simply celebrate with us what is and might be possible. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the brilliant people who work here and those who have volunteered with us, contributing to the many projects that would not be possible without them. I’d also like to thank our excellent Trustees who give their time and expertise generously and without whom we could not continue. In particular I’d like to thank Sarah Chilcott who has recently stood down after over four years of being chair of the Trustees. We wish you every success in the future, and thank you for your commitment to KWMC. There is much happening at KWMC and, despite harsh public funding cuts, our programme grows richer each year. We remain optimistic that by bringing together people, creativity and a diversity of ideas we can create the kind of world we all want to live in; in short, we want to make good things happen with you all.

stories Influence is key We Can Make Building the homes that communities want and need As the housing crisis intensifies, prices rocket and competition increases for a scarce and inconsistent supply of social housing. For many people there are few viable options. At our 20th anniversary celebration last year, Knowle West residents raised the issue of housing as one they would like to see tackled. Working with artists Charlotte Biszewski, Alex Goodman and Caitlin Shepherd, we started to investigate the issues surrounding housing: gathering stories about life in the neighbourhood and holding activities including photography, foraging and storytelling on the street and in community hubs. We found that many families live in overcrowded conditions with multiple generations under one roof, while some older people live in homes that don’t suit their changing needs. We also discovered that there are over 1,500 micro-sites in Knowle West – such as large unused gardens and spaces between homes – that could be utilised to build new 1-2 bedroom homes. We then worked with Bristol-based architects practice White Design to develop designs for a home that could suit these microsites. The TAM (Transportable Accommodation Module) was built on a micro-site beside Filwood Community Centre over ten weeks in the summer of 2017. Local tradespeople were employed to install the fittings.
The TAM is fully plumbed and wired, with walls made of straw bale panels, triple-glazed windows, a large wooden deck and a luxurious contemporary design. Local residents and Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees have stayed overnight in the TAM to try it out. We’re now working with White Design, local residents and other partners to begin delivery of new homes for Knowle West: the first houses could be built as early as Spring 2018! We Can Make is opt-in only and new homes will only be built where people want them. The We Can Make approach may not be suitable for every community in housing need but with eight more estates similar to Knowle West in Bristol alone, it has the potential to diversify the kind of homes available in this city and to be replicated across the UK. We Can Make brings together local residents, architects, artists and industry professionals to put people, not profits, at the heart of the process – giving real choices and influence to communities that have often been the furthest away from securing affordable and sustainable housing. www.kwmc.org.uk/wecanmake @makecanmake_

"I was employed as part of the construction team [working on the TAM]. I’ve learned so much on this project - done everything from tiling to being a chippy. I’ve loved working with all the new materials and products. It’s not just a local job it’s created, it’s a new local business: before this, I would never have had the confidence to set up on my own. Now I’m all set up, got a van, registered and everything. I’m set up for life." (Garry, Knowle West resident)
Collaboration is key The Bristol Approach Using technology and data to tackle the issues people care about ‘Smart city’ initiatives don’t always take into account the needs of communities: they can often impose technical solutions rather than collaborating with people to identify the most pressing problems and come up with the most suitable solutions. A 2015 report by the UK charity Nesta identified a number of things that have held ‘smart cities’ back from delivering real value, including not addressing the issues people really care about, not taking human behaviour as seriously as technology and a lack of focus on the skills people need to use smart technologies. * This year we tested a new way of working that puts communities at the heart of innovation, ensuring that new technologies are developed to meet their needs and tackle the issues they care about. Developed with Ideas for Change and Bristol City Council, The Bristol Approach is a six-step framework that provides guidance and inspiration for developing collaborative technology projects. It draws on our practice, developed across 21 years of work in Knowle West and beyond. Following a period of research in South and East Bristol, led by artists Paul Hurley and Caleb Parkin, we discovered that damp and mould in homes was a significant problem for many people. Through a programme of workshops, ‘hack days’, making sessions and regular meetings, we supported a group of ‘DampBusters’ to come together to identify some key actions that could help to measure the scale of the problem.
The DampBusters devised a frog-shaped temperature and humidity sensor and took part in training to help them identify types of damp and take action on a practical level. Five homes tested the frog sensors in summer 2016 and 700+ people aged 13-80 were engaged in over 45 events and workshops. The FrogBox temperature and humidity sensor u (Image: Ibolya Feher)

The learning from the DampBusters pilot has informed other projects: The Bristol Approach framework is now being implemented within the five-year European partnership project REPLICATE, as part of a piece of work to uncover issues surrounding air quality in East Bristol and explore the impact of air quality on people’s travel behaviour. The Bristol Approach has also been recognised in publications and at awards ceremonies across the UK and Europe; it was shortlisted for a NextGen Digital Challenge Award 2017 and selected as an example of international ‘good practice’ for sustainable urban development by the URBACT programme. www.kwmc.org.uk/bristolapproach #bristolapproach
"Anything that’s going to create change needs to be built on what people actually need and it’s only by getting to know them and understanding what it’s like to live in their shoes that you can say ‘ok, well actually this is what we really need to do’." (Workshop participant) "I enjoyed working with people from different backgrounds. There were designers, there were people who work in housing, there were artists, there were students. That was an interesting experience because we all brought something different to the discussion." (Workshop participant)
Diversity is key From Her Point of View Enabling talented women to tell their stories on film for their first time Women are under-represented in many areas of film and video production. A 2012 report from The BFI showed that women made up just 11.4% of directors and 16.1% of writers of the 372 UK independent films released in the UK territory in 2010-2012. We have long been a champion of diversity and new perspectives in the creative industries and this year we received funding from Creative Skillset’s Film Skills Fund, with BFI’s Film Forever National Lottery funds, to deliver an intensive training programme for women interested in developing careers in film and TV. Following the announcement of the course in December 2016, applications flooded in: over 100 for 10 places! We eventually selected 14 women aged 18+ who had a range of skills and interests: from young women straight from university to women who had explored filmmaking earlier in their careers and were returning to it. They received weekly training and support to develop their professional skills, with workshops in scriptwriting, camera and lighting, sound recording, working with actors, 2D animation, production design and puppetry.

p Behind the scenes shot of the Blood Warriors film shoot (Image: Jessica Kathleen Brady) The women then formed two production crews and began developing ideas for two short films. Each crew received a financial bursary to spend on production, such as hiring actors, props, costume, make-up and catering. Their films – ‘Blood Warriors’ and ‘Black Cherry’ – were screened to a packed auditorium in Arnolfini as part of Bristol Film Festival and received widespread regional media coverage on local TV and radio. Many of the participants have moved on to work in the film and TV industries, including working at a Bristol-based production company and freelancing in the art department on a series of music vidos and TV pilots. www.kwmc.org.uk/pointofview
"The POV experience has been amazing. Who would have thought: before applying for the scheme I was thinking of giving up on filmmaking and now I feel the exact opposite - I’m certain this is what I want to do!" Kam (Director, Black Cherry) "I've learned a lot about myself and how I can be better thanks to the example set by these amazing ladies." Kerrie (participant and Press Agent for the films)
Skills are key Digital manufacturing training at KWMC: The Factory Making sure everyone can access the technology of the future The latest Deprivation in Bristol Report (2015) identifies areas of Bristol where the number of residents affected by employment deprivation is as high as 1 in 4. It also states that 'South Bristol is particularly affected with extremes of Education, Skills and Training Deprivation', with some areas having a high proportion of working age adults with no or low qualifications. This year we received funding from the NatWest Skills & Opportunities fund to deliver a series of free workshops to help people to develop the knowledge, skills and experience to thrive in the manufacturing and making industries and consider setting up their own businesses. Through a series of short courses at our making and training space KWMC: The Factory we supported over 70 people from South Bristol to develop skills in computer-aided design, product design and digital manufacturing, and familiarise themselves with both traditional hand tools and digital making machines such as a laser cutter and CNC router. One participant commented: "the workshops have given me new skills to put on my CV so in the long run I can get a better job [...] As soon as you know how to use that laser cutter there ain’t nothing you can’t make."

Each course was structured so participants could learn and practice their new skills whilst making a series of practical and beautiful products to take home, including planters, jewellery, Christmas gifts and decorations, greeting cards, clocks and other homewares. As well as open sessions for individuals to book onto, we delivered bespoke sessions for residents who accessed services at Hartcliffe & Withywood Ventures, men taking part in Knowle West Health Park’s Man Alive! group, young mums from Knowle West Children’s Centre, and young people aged 16-25. In October 2017 The Factory was shortlisted for the Skills & Opportunities Fund for a second year for a new programme of courses to support more people in more areas of Bristol. We continue to offer a range of services for local people including volunteering opportunities, access to space and tools, and support for makers and budding entrepreneurs through the partnership programme Network for Creative Enterprise. www.kwmc.org.uk/thefactory @kwmcthefactory
