Join us for Communities of Practice, a gathering that invites those working with communities and the public to share experiences, challenges and strategies with one another, encouraging connection across the sector in the North West.
This specific session of Communities of Practice will continue conversations from the first session, which looked at collaboration as a potential site of tension, divergences and resistance. Together, we will continue these open conversations and discuss the ways in which we are seeking long-term, equitable working with communities and artists within engagement practice.
Communities of Practice stems from a session held by curator Elena Lespes Muñoz during her visit to Void in April 2025. The session sought to share experiences of working and collaborating with communities, collectively exploring how both our successes and dynamics of dissonance can be leveraged as opportunities for creative self-reflexivity.
