Workshop: Creative Responses to Environmental Challenges
Cumbria Arts & Culture Network: Creative Responses to Environmental Challenges Workshop led by somewhere-nowhere
Wednesday 22 November 6.30 p.m. via Zoom. Book via Eventbrite.
Thinking across the sector – artists, cultural organisations, venues, and the communities with which they’re connected – what role do we play in responding to environmental challenges?
What is it?
This 2-hour session will delve into topics including learning and raising awareness; reflection and activation; knowledge-sharing and collaboration; and developing practices to improve understanding and impact both within the sector and for wider communities.
Who’s it for?
Artists, arts organisations and others involved in the cultural and heritage sector who live or work in Cumbria.
How can art and culture make a difference? What’s your experience, and what are your questions? Conversational and participatory, this session will be limited to a maximum of 24 attendees.
The aspiration is that you will leave with inspiration and motivation to be bold, plus some new tools to address environmental challenges. New connections made during the workshop will help us all, as we develop our work, individually and collectively.
Delivered by:
Harriet Fraser and Rob Fraser, whose work through their practice somewhere-nowhere focuses on issues of the natural environment. The Frasers are visiting research fellows at the University of Cumbria and are founders of the PLACE Collective at the Centre for National Parks and Protected Areas, which brings artists into collaborative teams focusing on environmental challenges, and community connections. They are recipients of the Royal Geographical Society’s 2023 Cherry Kearton Medal for discipline-crossing work in rural contexts.
