Tom will be hosting and performing at this special event in Frome…

Welcome to The ForEm – Part fête. Part exhibition. Part experiment.

The ForEm asks deceptively simple questions:
What makes Frome, Frome? And who gets to decide what comes next?

The ForEm invites people to explore the stories they tell about the town: its independence, creativity and community spirit, and also its challenges, contradictions and changing identities. Expect performances, films, artworks, games, community stories and a warm invitation to question ways of thinking, feeling, dreaming, sensing – and making sense – of the town we share.

The ForEm is the commissioned work of Frome-based artist Kate Keara Pelen, developed through her collaboration with the University of Glasgow’s Civic Imaginary Partnerships research project. It turns a year of research into a space for the town to play with, challenge and add to what we have found.
