School of Activism 2019

In Easter 2019, the PRSC hosted a programme of workshops, events and activities designed to empower and inspire. From making a zine to building with eco-bricks; creating a photo story to planning a flash mob, the School of Activism helped people develop the tools to change the world.

The imagery that a City chooses to portray itself is of the utmost importance. We call on the Bristol public to help us create a new series of postcards depicting the best and worst of our fair city.

Support our work

We run small art and community projects in Stokes Croft and around Bristol, often for free. We collaborate with other art and community groups, who benefit from our facilities and resources. We're entirely self funded, and sometimes that's hard.

If you like what we do, please consider donating. PRSC is at the forefront of defending public spaces, cultural freedoms, and an alternative voice from the city.

With your help, we can develop our workspaces, activities, projects and campaigns.

Yes, I support an alternative voice for the city.
