Creative Places and Create are pleased to announce our Networking Event, hosted in 2022 by Creative Places Tuam, on the 10th and 11th November.
This Networking Event will explore how care and solidarity intersect with and inform the development of critical relationships in socially engaged, collaborative arts practice. We welcome representatives from each of the twelve Creative Places across Ireland, as well as artists, academics, community and arts organisations, local arts officers, and anyone interested in the topics of place-based practice, inclusion, care, and socially engaged and collaborative arts practice.
Highlights include a keynote talk from Pablo Helguera, a panel on representation and (re)imagining Traveller culture at local, regional and national levels, the premiere of The Colour of My Breath, a filmic exploration of the particular challenges of integration from the perspective of collaborative/ community artists from minority ethnic/ migrant backgrounds, and an informal conversation event between Tuam-based artists Jojo Hynes and Midie Corcoran, who will be joined by artist Kate O’Shea.
This event is a unique opportunity for those working in this field to meet with like-minded peers, to share and network, to learn from each other and invited speakers and panellists. The event will include keynote talks, panels, a walking tour, film screening, exhibition and artistic interventions. We look forward to meeting you all in Tuam!
Booking will open in early October for this two-day event, at which time a full programme will also be released. Those with additional access needs are invited to contact Create on info@create-ireland.ie, or 01 473 6600, to discuss how we can best support you to attend.
