In this series of talks, artists and academics share their latest thinking on working within participatory and inclusive arts. The talks aim to be a thought provoking resource for those who already work within arts museums, education, health and voluntary sectors and also those who would like to develop this work or find outÌýmore.
Examine a variety of arts disciplines and how to use these to engage marginalised groups such as people with learning disabilities, people with mental health diagnosis, offenders, the elderly, homeless people and refugees. Hear experiences of how working with marginalised groups can bring new knowledge, inspiration and insights to your own creative practice orÌýorganisation.Ìý
Invited speakers have worked with theatre, performance, animation, film and the visual arts to support marginalised groups in expressing a different part of themselves through the art-making process and having their voices heard andÌývalued.Ìý
Together we will beÌýasking:
- What place do the arts have in the refugeeÌýcrisis?
- How can performance and visual arts promote equality between artists with and without learningÌýdisabilities?
- How can we use the techniques of contemporary theatre in community settings as a catalyst for socialÌýchange?
- How can working consciously with narrative support people who are disempowered and stigmatised to take back control of their ownÌýstories?
- How can collaborative work with vulnerable people be safe andÌýeffective?
