Welcome to Dudley Creates

Imaginative projects and experiments designed by local people, cultivating curiosity, everyday creativity and care for all life.

A growing collective of local people in Dudley borough are co-creating projects that support communities to have thriving cultural lives by participating in creativity of all kinds.

We call people in the Dudley Creates collective Time Rebels.

Some of the projects Time Rebels have developed are focused around restoring our relationship with the natural world and taking action towards climate justice. These activities are brought together through Dudley People’s School for Climate Justice.

Dudley Creates is an ever-evolving and ongoing project.

It started as a way to get more people involved in culture and creativity in Dudley and, through ongoing experiments and research, it has developed into a movement where a collective of local people (we call Time Rebels) are supporting a cultural strategy in action.

Local people have been, and continue to get, actively involved, trying out, experimenting and taking part in all kinds of creativity. It is with these experiments that we have been able to bring together the practices, tools and tactics to develop 5 key ideas that we hope will begin to help overcome barriers experienced by local people and communities who would like thriving cultural lives.
