Stoke Creates wholly condemns the hate fuelled, anti-Islamic, anti-immigration rioting that invaded Stoke-on-Trent at the weekend. This is not the city we recognise. Artists and arts organisations across the city stand together to say the voices of racism, of hate, of blame have no place in our beautiful city.
The artists and arts organisations of Stoke-on-Trent are working every day with communities in Stoke-on-Trent to lay solid foundations of trust, positivity and love. With this energy and these actions we are building a city fit for all young people, for a today and a future, for everyone.
