Creating meaningful collaborations with other sectors
Working in rural settings can bring opportunities to encounter land owners and workers and create meaningful exchanges between arts, heritage, environment or farming communities. Such partnerships can lead to new forms of engagement with a location, new audiences, and help exploring local issues of a global significance.
How can the arts enable the uncovering of stories that don’t just belong to the past but resonate with contemporary issues? Can they help change perceptions, create empathy, and an environment for exchanges and change? Do these collaborations offer opportunities to engage with those who think the contemporary arts are not for them?
We will explore these questions through hearing from the perspective of artists and representatives from other sectors.
The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion to explore how these sectors work together and what are the challenges and outcomes.
