Heart of Hastings Community Land Trust
Heart of Hastings Community Land Trust invites you to a special event to discuss the potential for collective investment in local property for the benefit of the local community.
Drawn to Witness
“Not your idyllic Springwatch in a Sussex bluebell wood, but an observation of the processes that drive out protected species to prepare the land for tarmac.” This is local artist Emily Johns’ description of her new exhibition, ‘Drawn to Witness’, documenting the changes in the Hollington Valley local wildlife site over the past year, as local residents struggled to stop the Queensway Gateway road being built on top of it. Andrea Needham writes.
Root 1066 celebrates Battle of Hastings
This year – 2016 – is the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. Hastings’ attitude is celebrate while you can – why wait 50 years when you might not be around to commemorate the 1,000th? So this year, Hastings is marking the date with an international contemporary festival of the arts, ROOT 1066. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths went to talk to Festival Director, Polly Gifford about what will be happening.
Judging a book by its cover
Old Town resident Amanda Nicol, known locally more for her landscape paintings than her writing, re-launches new editions of her three novels this month – each with amazing covers by local artist, Roland Jarvis. Writing skilfully, compellingly and often very humorously about topics close to her heart, she is a tenacious and talented author who deserves a high degree of success. Zelly Restorick asks Amanda about what drives her to create – especially when things get tough – her creative collaboration with acclaimed local artist Roland Jarvis and her publishing journey.
Prunella Clough at the Jerwood
It is always fascinating to see the journey an artist has travelled during their lifetime. Some continue to mine the same theme, others turn somersaults, change and develop. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths was delighted to see the gamut of Prunella Clough’s paintings at the exhibition, Unknown Countries in the Jerwood Gallery, Hastings.
Peter Chowney responds to council critics
Rocklands, the Country Park, Sea Change projects – Hastings Borough Council’s handling of such planning and development issues spawn regular critical contributions to HOT’s columns and high levels of readership. We invited council leader, Peter Chowney to respond to some of the criticism, which he did in a recent interview with Nick Terdre.
