Future Development
In November 2007 Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery in partnership with the Arnolfini was one of five successful institutions to win an additional £1 million from the Art Fund. This will be used to reflect the city's history as a port and "a city of international transaction", to purchase work by artists from China, Africa and the Middle East, such as Meschac Gaba and Romuald Hazoumé, from Benin, Hu Xiaoyuan, Xu Zhen and Lu Chunsheng from China, Sherif El Azma from Egypt, Sigalit Landau from Israel, and Huit Facettes of Senegal. The theme of the Bristol partnership will be ‘Glass Walls: Reflections and Interactions’.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or development:
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
“I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
—H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
