Based at BITMO, our Community Artist in Residence, Elnaz Yazdani worked with the community in Belle Isle to create the ‘Belle Isle Tapestry’, an artwork celebrating local people and places that are important to residents. Supported by volunteers, Elnaz gathered stories about the area from Belle Isle residents at local community centres and groups, including Trinity Network, Cranmore & Rayland’s, the 26 Centre, the 59 Club and the 58 Centre.

The unveiling event is on 

29th May 2025
5pm - 6pm
Bitmo's Gate, Aberfield Gate, LS10 3QH. 

We will be unveiling the work, listening to some of the stories and of course, there will be cake.

Everyone is welcome to join us - hope to see you there!
