We’re proud to announce the launch of Reimagining Lincolnshire, a new project led by Threshold Studios in partnership with the University of Lincoln, and made possible thanks to support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
With £248,000 in funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Reimagining Lincolnshire will connect community audiences and visitors with the social histories of Lincoln. By highlighting themes such as diversity, migration, LGBTQIA+ visibility, well-being, gender, and trades, the project makes heritage relevant to contemporary life.
Why Reimagining Lincolnshire?
This project is about finding the gaps, amplifying the silences, and celebrating the resilience, creativity and contributions of those who have often been overlooked.
From migration and gender identity to social justice and abolition, Reimagining Lincolnshire aims to tell these stories not just as historical footnotes, but as part of the living cultural fabric of the region.
“We’re so grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for supporting this project. This is a powerful opportunity to make Lincoln’s hidden histories visible and accessible to all — and to celebrate the people who shaped the city we know today with the people who live here now.” – Samantha Lindley, Chief Executive, Threshold Studios
