This summit concludes The Exchange by sharing activities, outcomes, processes and experiences from the artists.

This January 56 artists came together to make new connections across the country. Pairing peers from different networks artists began conversations, collaborations and in some cases making together. Supported by a programme of activities led by The Exchange participants that saw workshops ranging from exploring the living creatures in your vicinity to quiet crits, slowly the Exchange pairs began to get to know each other.This summit concludes The Exchange by sharing activities, outcomes, processes and experiences from the artists.

Frances Staniforth &amp; Margaret JenningsIn their collaboration the artists focused on the natural world of plants and wildlife, in relation to how we coexist within the  ecological system. They connected through the fungi, lichen, moss and trees that grow in our urban and rural areas. Their exchange exchange has expressed itself in poetry, photographs, artworks, a tea ceremony and votive offerings made out of natural found materials.francesstaniforthartist.comthenewbridgeproject.com/artist/margaret-jennings--Introduced by Bori Soos / Eastside Projects (EOP)7.)

Bridging the gap created by limited movement and opportunity to network The Exchange aims to create new exchanges and friendships between artists that wouldn’t otherwise be able to connect. This open-ended process has no limits or boundaries but is simply framed by the invitation to begin a conversation. The Exchange 2 builds upon the 2021 iteration of the project where 58 artists across the UK were paired together with the simple invitation to begin a conversation. The artist pairs valued the connection to another peer to think alongside and support one another. Although there was no anticipation of a formal outcome artists did make together resulting in video collages, animation, sacred knotting installations and performances. The variety of responses, levels of connection, outcomes and conversations was vast and far-reaching with some artists connecting for a short time and others who will continue to talk and collaborate long into the future. Eastside Projects (EOP), CAMP, Castlefield Gallery (Associates), The NewBridge Project, Primary, Spike Island (Spike Island Associates), and Turf Projects have each selected 8 artists from their networks to take part in the project through an open call. In total 56 artists will participate.
