In recent years artist (and SHU Senior Lecturer in Fine Art) Chlo\u00eb Brown<\/a> has been working on a series of ‘Soft Rebellions’ in post-industrial cities, first in Stoke-on-Trent, then in Detroit and now in Sheffield. These take the form of a film or an event posing the question:\u00a0\u2018what happens when the economic engines of a city slow down but the people don’t?\u2019\u00a0<\/em>So far these ‘Soft Rebellions’ have involved dancing, eating, meeting and applauding in places where it is unusual to do so.<\/p>\n

Recently\u00a0Chlo\u00eb\u00a0was interviewed for the Paulette Edwards morning show on BBC Radio Sheffield and by Adrian Sinclair for Leeds-based community radio station Chapel FM. You can listen to\u00a0Chlo\u00eb on the BBC here<\/a> (from 1:08:30) and on Chapel FM here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
