A murmuration is, by its very nature, a collaborative act.
WHAT WE DO
Murmuration Arts is a participatory arts organisation with over 23 years’ experience building community through creative and heritage practice.
We create spaces where people gather, remember and make together — connecting through reminiscence, mothers’ circles, intergenerational workshops and shared arts practice.We are sector leaders in engaging people who don’t traditionally access the arts.
Our co-creation approach means communities shape every project — not as audiences, but as collaborators.
From this work in communities we develop site-responsive performance, immersive installations, oral and video history projects and playful public experiences rooted in the memories of the people we meet.
CORE ACTIVITY
Mothers’ Circle | Crawley
A welcoming space for mothers to gather around the fire, drink tea, share conversation, connect with nature and rediscover their creativity. Together we make, write, sing, cook, paint, craft, record and rest — responding to what’s needed in the moment, with art and community at the heart.
Nightlight Lullabies
Nightlight Lullabies connects audiences through the universal experience of soothing a baby to sleep. A large-scale sound, light, film and live-performance installation shaped by research and creative workshops with hearing and Deaf parents, bringing together real stories, newly written lullabies and a visual vernacular film.
Murmuration Heritage
Community-led heritage projects grounded in research, oral and video histories, and long-term partnerships. We work alongside communities to honour and celebrate stories that are often overlooked — ensuring memories, voices and lived experience are shared, preserved and valued.
Our evaluation data from recent projects demonstrates a shift in who gets to shape and share their heritage, centring voices that are often excluded.
We are passionate about widening opportunities for people to engage in the arts.Our creative process involves in-depth research with communities, focusing on building & maintaining relationships.
Each project we work on aims to create a unique shared experience, connecting communities & giving people a voice & platform on which to tell their stories.
