There are good examples of keeping positive heritage alive. #Teesside has a rich history of opposing fascism - In trenches, on beaches, in the skies and in the streets. We should never forget that it always takes ordinary people to make a difference.

The Battle of Stockton was largely unheard of. We raise awareness of this crucial part of Teesside's history. One of the projects we've already brought to life is the first book which chronicles the events of the 10th September, 1933. #Teesside #Heritage #History...

Blast from 06/2013: "Golden age of #arts funding has given way to debilitating austerity, particularly for #artists who are at the end of a long food chain, divorced from #artsfunding & policy decision-making." What are #artists really worth? theguardian.com/culture-prof…

From the beginning of Creative Factory, we've tried to stick by 'Listen and learn from what you don't know, share what you do.' Seems more important every day. #BlackLivesMatter
