SUMMARY:Works on Paper; from Northfleet with love
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition – Bold\, layered works exploring memory\, movement\, place\, and personal history through colour\, structure\, and observation shaped by life in North Kent and beyond. \nSteven J Knowles is a multidisciplinary visual artist working across painting\, drawing\, and community arts\, based between Gravesham\, Kent and the North Devon coast. His practice holds two things in productive tension: the intimacy of the studio and the scale of the public wall; the personal and the systemic; the mark made in private and the image that belongs to a community. \nKnowles grew up moving between building sites with his father — an education conducted not in classrooms but in the smell of raw timber\, wet concrete\, and spaces mid-becoming. These formative years instilled in him a way of reading the world through its structures: what is built\, what is neglected\, who decides\, and what remains. Nearly thirty years working in social housing gave that instinct consequence\, and it is this rarely spoken biography that runs like a current beneath the painted surface.\nHis mark-making is grounded in a crosshatch and grid language — less a style than a way of thinking. It speaks of accumulation\, of time registered\, of the act of sustained attention. Against this structural skeleton he places colour that refuses to be polite: bold\, often in conflict with itself\, always chosen with intent. His works are built in series\, each one a chapter in a longer argument. \nKnowles surfs regularly at Woolacombe in North Devon — a place he returns to not as escape but as orientation. His travel\, from Sicily to Norway\, Romania to Lisbon\, feeds a practice sustained by the conviction that observation\, accumulated slowly and honestly\, is its own form of argument.

SUMMARY:Local Authority open newsroom
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet the team behind Local Authority and tell us what we should be covering. \n\n\n\n\nFor Indie News Week 2026\, Local Authority is opening up for the day. \nDrop in\, meet us\, and talk to us about Medway. \nYou can ask how we decide what to cover\, tell us where we’ve got things right\, point us towards things we’ve missed\, or talk to us about the issues in your part of Medway that deserve more attention. \nWe’re particularly interested in hearing from people in Medway’s villages and more rural communities. Those areas are often harder to cover regularly\, and we’d like to speak to people who might be interested in helping us spot stories\, follow local issues\, or contribute reporting from their patch. \nYou can: \n• Talk to us about the stories we cover\n• Tell us about the stories we haven’t covered\n• Share issues and concerns from your area\n• Find out how Local Authority works behind the scenes\n• Talk to us about helping cover your part of Medway \nThere will also be a panel discussion at 11am on the future of independent local news\, the challenges facing the sector\, and what happens when communities lose access to dedicated local journalism. Speakers will be announced soon. \nYou don’t need to stay all day. Drop in for five minutes\, an hour\, or stay for longer. \nIndie News Week is run by the Public Interest News Foundation\, of which we are a member. This year’s theme is “No news is bad news”\, highlighting the role independent journalism plays in keeping communities informed and holding power to account.
