Leaveners look to past to inform future
The Leaveners are to develop an archive
The Leaveners, the Quaker arts charity based in Birmingham, is to develop an archive.
New director José Forest-Tennant has a background in museums and heritage and has taken a real interest in the Leaveners’ many artefacts. These include writings, photographs, promotional material and videos relating to Leaveners’ performances from 1978 onwards.
Once developed, the archive will help develop and inform the charity’s future artistic programme.
