SUMMARY:Bussing Out
DESCRIPTION:This powerful exhibition reveals a hidden piece of British history – one that shaped the identity of many global majority children who arrived in Bradford\, and many other cities across the UK\, during the 1960s and 1970s. \nClimb aboard a 1970s school bus and hear memories of those impacted by the Bussing Out policy\, which sent Black and South Asian children from inner-city schools to mostly white areas. \nBussing Out takes place inside a reimagined school bus\, combining audio-visual storytelling with real testimonies and reconstructed memory. \nYou are invited to spend time in the space with the sequences\, create your own connections and narratives\, and to embrace the stillness. \nThe installation is open to the public from Monday 20 April – Saturday 2 May 2026 at Luton Point (Church Street Entrance/Exit). \n\nMonday 20 April – Friday 24 April: 10:00 – 16:00 daily\nSaturday 25 April: 11:00 – 16:00\nSunday 26 April – CLOSED\nMonday 27 April – Friday 1 May: 10:00 – 16:00 daily\nSaturday 2 May: 11:00 – 16:00\n\nFind out more about Bussing Out and Express Your Interest here.

SUMMARY:Sisters 360
DESCRIPTION:Hopes\, hurdles and halfpipes. \nFatima and Salima are the closest\, coolest\, hijabi-wearing step-sisters in all of Bradford – and nothing is going to stop them from winning the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition. With their eyes on the prize and their boards under their feet\, they are unstoppable. That is\, until they overhear whispers in the kitchen… their parents might be splitting up. Suddenly\, everything is at risk – their friendship\, their family\, and their dream. Only the greatest super-plan ever concocted can keep them together and on track for victory. \nSisters 360 is a funny\, heartfelt and high-energy new play written by Asif Khan\, inspired by the real-life “Hijabi Sisters” from Hull – three skateboard-loving siblings who have challenged stereotypes and inspired countless others\, following in the footsteps of their hero\, Olympic medallist Sky Brown. With skateboarding tricks\, sibling banter and a whole lot of heart\, this uplifting story explores the power of family\, friendship and resilience in the face of change. \nAt its core\, Sisters 360 is about courage\, creativity and the determination to hold on to what matters most. It’s a story about finding strength in teamwork\, navigating life’s challenges\, and daring to dream big even when the ground beneath you feels unsteady. The play also gently opens up conversations about family life\, separation and how children discover their own voice when faced with change. \nPerfect for ages 8–12 (and anyone who remembers being that age)\, Sisters 360 is boisterous\, joyful and inspiring – a celebration of skateboards\, sisterhood and standing proud.
