Harcourt Road: Mobile Museum is our inaugural offsite project co-led by Bloc Projects and C & G Artpartment. After an extended period of relationship building, we are now ready to collect and showcase stories of community action in two streets of the same name in Sheffield and Hong Kong.

Across weekends in August and September 2024, C & G Artpartment’s bespoke e-bike Mobile Museum will be stationed at various locations across the Weston Park and Harcourt Road area, collecting oral histories and artefacts from Sheffield’s diverse communities: local residents of the Harcourt Road and Crookes / Broomhill neighbourhoods and the city’s Hong-Kong and wider diasporic communities.

The Mobile Museum will host drop-in creative activities, oral history interviews, an artefact amnesty and a changing Mobile-Museum display. C&G Artpartment will also produce a series of Harcourt Road family portraits alongside photographer and resident Laure Divisia. The results of this work will be shown in an exhibition opening on 28 September, with a special series of events.

Their work has been included as part of Peer to Peer, the Shanghai Biennale and the Singapore Biennale. C & G are the 2024-25 Wysing x Para Site resident artists.
