Shaun Blezard
Cumbria Remixed
Cumbria Remixed is a sound project using digital technologies to investigate and remix the soundscape of Cumbria. It will look at creating a lively dialogue between old and new, young and old through field recordings of Cumbrian environments, and Cumbrian people’s tales, tunes, stories and songs. Shaun will use digital technology to remix and remould our environment and our stories to create a sound resource for creating new soundscapes and songs.

Hafsah Naib
Hafsah Naib is a Manchester based artist. In 2008-9 Hafsah showcased a work called ‘TV’ at the Castlefield Gallery. In 2010 as part of the Futureverything festival Hafsah was artist in residence at the Cornerhouse, Manchester. She created a piece of collaborative work called ‘Breathing With You’. This work involved Hafsah initiating a range of creative encounters with exhibition visitors to produce an online book. Themes she explores in her work include self and other, collective and individual, and public versus private space. We welcome Hafsah to Lanternhouse, and as her research and development takes shape over early 2011 we will keep you posted about it.

Lorrice Douglas
Social History, Objects and Spaces...
Having already joined us in 2010, Lorrice is back this year to develop her work. Lorrice's research is inspired by social history and those references (or narratives) are embodied through objects and spaces, rather like an installation in a museum or a stage set for theatre. Whilst at Lanternhouse she is researching locations and speaking to people about buildings and domestic interiors which hold a particular resonance for them. Experiences so far include visits to a beloved workshop in an Edwardian house in Ulverston and a remarkable shop in Millom.
