At a Glance: 2020 – 2022

PDF

How do we tell you about all the cups of tea– our shorthand for meetings, planning, scheming, that kept Creative Places Tuam going when Covid 19 meant we had to change our plans?.

How do we tell you about the slowing of pace, holding of place, staying together even though we were in different counties (Dublin, Carlow, Cork and Galway) for months?

How do we talk about zoom, the emails, the phone calls, the hand-written letters, voice notes, WhatsApp messages…?

You will find here an infographic showing just some of the “vital statistics” of the past two years of work on Creative Places Tuam.

The event was chaired by Professor Kerstin Mey, President, University of Limerick.

This conversation delved into the question of the critical coordinates for collaborative and socially engaged arts practice, exploring alternative ways to analyse and understand the complex processes and relationships inherent to socially engaged art and which lay the foundations for change.

At the Create Networking Day (9th December 2020), close to two hundred delegates came together to collectively build a resource pack for the sector; talks, books, projects that have inspired, kept us going and which encourage our work as collaborative artists and cultural and/or community practitioners.

This resource, made up of everyone’s recommendations and co-produced by Create and Heart of Glass, is reflective of a sense of collective wisdom, provocation and support by our field of practice at this time.

Each resource can be accessed by clicking the heading for each item.
