Community Ensemble Presents: Unearthing Our Joy!

Part of Sheffield's Festival of the Mind 2024

Unearthing Our Joy: Through the Power of Human Revolution transforms stereotypes and misperceptions, revealing our true selves individually and collectively. The performance took place at the Festival of The Mind on Friday 27 September at 4pm.

Utopia Theatre, the Centre for Equity and Inclusion and Dr Steph Ejegi Memeh collaborate on this Performance which offers a hopeful, joyful and celebratory message, turning the impossible into “I am possible” and highlighting the power of self-discovery and unity.

Festival of the Mind is a biennial festival showcasing a unique collaboration between University of Sheffield researchers and the city’s cultural and creative industries, to help bring research to life in exciting, entertaining and innovative ways.​
 
The festival takes place in various venues across the city of Sheffield including the iconic Spiegeltent in Barker’s Pool, the Millennium Gallery on Surrey Street and Persistence Works at Yorkshire Artspace on Brown Street. The festival is free and open to all and has brought more than 170,000 visitors into Sheffield city centre since its first edition in 2012.
