Currently in Doncaster. With projects in Bradford, Sheffield and Aberystwyth.
what ark is
Ark brings people together to ask difficult civic questions in public.
It begins small.
A conversation.
A meal.
A workshop.
It can grow into a Storm-Cycle.
It can culminate in a Storm-Gathering.
It can lead to commissions, research, exhibitions.
Ark adapts to each place. The structure repeats. The content is local.
current focus: ark doncaster
In April 2026, Ark Doncaster unfolds in partnership with City of Doncaster Council, Cast and Sheffield Hallam University, contributing to the Doncaster and Humber UNESCO Biosphere application.
