Welcome to the Community Curator Blog!

We are thrilled to bring you along on our journey as we transform The Dining Room space into a vibrant and evolving display of our shared heritage through the lens of food. Our project aims to breathe new life into what was once a static museum exhibit, turning it into a dynamic, ever-changing exploration of our local collections. We recruited 15 paid Community Curators through our partners – Awakening Minds, Theatre in Flow, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing and the Association of Ukrainians Great Britain: Rochdale Branch, and a further group of young people from Rochdale Youth Service working as Young Curators in annual summer schools as part of the HAF programme.

Stay tuned to our blog as we share updates from our meetings, insights from our sessions with the artists, and the progress we’re making with The Dining Room project. We look forward to taking you along on this exciting and transformative journey!
