Dominic joined HOME as a member of Project X in 2016. Project X was a collective of young artists aged 18-25. Following twelve months of research and planning, the Project X Collective curated and programmed a month long takeover of HOME in August 2017. The programme was called This Is Human and attracted 1000 visits across 21 events. A highlight of this was Dominic’s computer game, Weasel Nation, which he worked with game designers to create and featured characters with disabilities, voiced by friends at Venture Arts.
Following this Dominic, and cousin Pat, have gone on to create AMP (Accessible Music Productions) and popular accessible club night, House Party, in collaboration with us at HOME. With Dominic sharing his love of rap, hip hop and making music whilst creating a platform for disabled artists to showcase their music.
Alongside all this, Dominic is one of our regular and now expert, HOME Volunteers! His role is public facing and is key to helping us welcome people, engage with new audiences and spread the word about our programmes. Dominic also supports our Exhibitions, as a Gallery Engager, welcoming people to our gallery space and helping us to get important feedback to develop our programmes further. Fridays wouldn’t be the same without Dom and we were super proud when he went on to win Young Creative of the Year at the Manchester Culture Awards 2018.
Big shout out and thanks to Dominic for spending his time and sharing his passion and enthusiasm with us at HOME!
Many of our volunteers joined us at the very beginning when HOME opened in 2015 and have helped to shape our volunteer scheme. We’ve now got a team of over 50 volunteers who continue to help shape our venue by engaging further with our audiences and connecting us to communities across Manchester.
Volunteer roles at HOME can include supporting our art, cinema and theatre programme, engaging with our audiences at our varied events and festivals, supporting our engagement team with activities at HOME and across Manchester and seasonal activities across the year. Volunteer roles are flexible and our programme includes volunteer socials and events to get involved in!
