Collective Encounters

Open Space event exploring how artists and arts organisations can develop relationships and empower excluded communities

Calling Question and Context:How can we create an open atmosphere that builds power within and between excluded groups?Much of participatory arts aims to work with communities who are seen as marginalised, using the arts and culture to redress inequality. Often these communities are talked about as ‘hard to reach’ or ‘excluded’ from the mainstream, however the networks within them make them strong and resilient to change. This event will open with provocations from guest speakers based on their experiences of building and maintaining meaningful relationships within and across communities.Following the provocations and Q&A, attendees will be invited to reflect on these themes and what these ideas mean for their communities, arts practice and the participatory art sector more widely.Event Format: Open Spaces are participant-led events where the agenda and discussion are driven by those in the room. At the beginning of the event guest speakers will introduce some key ideas, principles and practices behind the theme and offer provocations for discussion. Together we set the agenda and you will be able to move freely between conversations.Ticket Cost: £5.00We also have a small number of bursary places available for those with limited funds, please email info@collective-encounters.org.ukAccess: This event will use live transcription. If you require any other access support please get in touch before the event
