A new art exhibition in Sheffield has helped to bridge the gap between different cultures and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Blurring the edges in Rotheram’ is an interactive art piece on Rockingham lane that was introduced in response to reports finding cultural boundaries in Rotheram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uzma Rani, a visual artist from Rotheram, said: \u201cThe boundaries mainly relate to cultural differences and that has had an impact on their way of life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we wanted to make the statistics something people can connect with and respond to without looking at numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research by the University of Sheffield found that there were several \u2018divides\u2019, in communities and that this had caused conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lora Krasteva, performance artist and visual producer from Sheffield, said: \u201cYou can also really feel the divide. On one side there would be a new, nice park with children playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the other side, it’s derelict and run down, including the living space and its difference shows how one receives more support and funding then the other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition was inspired by a performance by Ms Rani and Ms Krasteva, first performed in 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production showed the two having a conversation on their different cultures and finding how much they have in common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Krasteva said: \u201cWe want people to go, \u201chuh,\u201d and then go on with their day thinking about where they live and the cultural boundaries that might be there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the exhibition, Ms Rani also had four art pieces to demonstrate the cultural differences, with two being on show while the others were online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the pieces represented a rose, representing English culture and a jasmine flower, representing her Pakistani culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Rani said: \u201cThese pieces represent that if you create an environment for both communities, people can thrive. In essence, the pieces represent parts of me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair’s main aim was to raise awareness within the government and politicians and bring about change to communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Krasteva said: \u201cWe always invite councils over as while they might be aware of the boundaries, the art helps them visualise how big it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is part of the festival debate and will be available to see until 16 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
