Arts-research collaborations from artists' perspectives
C/B/102, Block B, Chemistry Buildings, Campus West, University of York (Map)
Event details
Are you interested in working with artists related to your research? Or are you an artist wishing to learn more about good arts-research collaborations? Then we have just the session for you: YESI's recently launched Environmental Artivism network and the Resilient Socio-Ecological Systems theme want to continue the conversation on promoting collaborations between artists and researchers in the sustainability and justice space.
Three fabulous artists - Tim Ralphs, spoken-word performer and storyteller, Kitty Turner, audio producer and musician, and Gina Allen, visual artist, will reflect on their experiences of working with researchers to produce benefits for research and knowledge exchange. They will discuss what collaborations they have been involved in, what has gone well and what challenges there have been, and their top tips for where to start on arts-research collaborations. Of course there will also be ample time for questions, and York academics with various experiences in this space will also be on hand to add their own reflections as useful.
We will end on a marketplace of sorts, where the three artists will share some of their outputs and be available for one-to-one conversations about bringing arts together with different research projects.
Wherever you are in your career or in your journey with arts-research collaborations, you are most welcome!
