Be Part of Enigma Day
We are working to develop a brief for a dynamic new public art project for Bletchley that celebrates the Bletchley Park and Alan Turing legacies in a fresh, creative and inclusive way. Following an open call for nominations for Community Codebreakers from the local community, we are pleased to invite members of the public to join us, and the Community Codebreakers, for Enigma Day at Bletchley Library on Monday 16th January.
Enigma Day is an opportunity to take part in the development of creating the commissioning artists brief, led by a team of art professionals working with Milton Keynes Council and the selected group of Community Codebreakers. The half day event will offer an insight into public art commissioning, and act as an open forum to help develop the creative brief for this exciting new work. There are no special skills or artistic knowledge required, this is about your local connection and stories.
Together we will collectively explore imaginative ideas, discussing the contemporary and future relevance of Alan Turing and Bletchley Park, different types of artistic practice, and relevant themes including digital innovation, computing and challenging oppression and LGBTQ+ stereotypes. This is a great opportunity to gain new skills, meet new people and help us share Bletchley’s internationally significant story with the world - while keeping it rooted to the community and the people who live, work and study here today.
Enigma Day is open for members of the public to attend. Registration is free but places must be booked in advance by filling in this form. Participants will receive refreshments and a simple lunch.
Enigma Day will take place on Monday 16 January at Bletchley Library, 10:30am - 2:30pm
