Freiraum (Spheres of Freedom) in Carlisle is a grassroots creative project developed and managed by AWAZ Cumbria. Working with Cumbria based artists and groups to explore ideas of isolation and freedom in our society, we have used a range of creative arts practices to find answers to the question “how can we understand isolation and how can we overcome it?“.

Freiraum in Carlisle is the result of a close collaboration between AWAZ Cumbria, Bluejam Arts, Carlisle Youth Zone, Artists from SpeakEasy, Linda Fitzgerald (Artist), Sue Castle-Clarke (Fellside, Ousby), TOLIVAR Production, the Frieraum in Carlisle curator Jane Dudman, and our partners ArtBox Creative Arts Management,Thessaloniki, Greece and The Goethe-Institut (London/ Glasgow).  

Freiraum is a project of the Goethe-Institut in Europe in collaboration with 53 partners in culture, arts and civil society. About 40 European cities explore the question: What does freedom mean in present-day Europe?
