Be part of the unveiling of Our Freedom: Derbyshire Reflects on WWII, a creative project shaped by the community.

Over recent months, Derbyshire Libraries have invited people of all ages to come together in workshops with artists from Spiral Arts to share memories, stories and hopes for the future. Their ideas have inspired a miniature post-war house reflecting everyday lives and freedoms found after the Second World War. Alongside it, an exhibition of photographs, words and artwork will showcase the voices behind the project.

Join them at Ilkeston Library to celebrate collaboration and creativity that brought this unique project to life.
