The event WITH FOR ABOUT: Conversations About Collaboration will include opportunities to network, as well as critical conversations led by leading practitioners in this field exploring themes including Public Art + Publics, Validation Beyond the Gallery, Working in Context and Approaches to Professional Development.
This is a sharing event and critical reflection day for artists, producers and curators from across art form working within or interested in the field of social arts practice.
- Do you work with people when creating work?
- Do your collaborators share an interest, space or place?
- Does your work respond to social and community themes, situations and contexts?
- Does your work often take place outside of traditional art spaces?
In the morning
Preceding the discussion event (and over coffee) you are invited to join us for a series of short presentations of selected work commissioned by Heart of Glass during its inaugural year, as well as a chance to network informally.
