Being Human: Derby

Derby’s programme builds on the legacies and work of their 2020 Festival Hub, including their key partnership with Derby Museums, this time exploring Derby as a centre of engineering in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Taking the centenary of the city’s display of its trade, history and culture at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924 as a starting point, events will explore the making of modern Derby through inclusive performances, pottery, and participatory art.
