January Professional Development Workshop: Working with Communities; Opportunities for Socially Engaged and Participative Practice

January 26 - January 26, 2023
12.30-2pm
Online

Artists and recipients of the Create Artist in the Community Scheme Award, Kate O’ Shea and Ashleigh Ellis will facilitate a workshop which will provide an overview of the landscape of opportunities for artists who are currently or are considering working with communities and developing a socially engaged and/or community participative practice. They will discuss their current and past projects, as well as funding opportunities for socially engaged and participative practitioners.

 

About the Facilitators:

Kate O’ Shea is an artist working across printmaking, large-scale installation, performance, and publishing. Her collaborative practice builds spaces of solidarity to explore alternative modes of community and dialogue. Kate O’ Shea has just finished The Just City Counter Narrative Neighbourhood Residency Awardee (2020-2022) with Common Ground, Dublin 8. Kate’s project www.howmuchisenough.online lies at the intersection of art, collective care and activism and includes collaborators from all around the world exploring ideas and practices which make visible structural violence within our cities and open space for collective organizing and building alternatives to capitalism. In 2019 Kate co-produced SPARE ROOM Art Architecture Activism (www.spareroomproject.ie) with Dr. Eve Olney in Cork. In 2018 she founded the publishing house Durty Books with graphic designer Victoria Brunetta which provides a critical space and platform for emerging and prominent voices across art, design, academia and activism who challenge and offer alternatives to hegemonic social and political structures. Durty Books has four upcoming books in 2022-2024, including a major publication on The Artist-Led Archive www.theartistledarchive.com . Kate has a Masters by Research in Printmaking as a space for solidarity and dialogue from Limerick School of Art and Design. She is a recipient of the AIC Scheme Bursary Award 2021.

Ashleigh Ellis is from Cork, where she now lives and works. She graduated from the Crawford College of Art and Design in 2011, and completed a MEd with the Open University in 2017 in which she undertook research about young artist’s identity and self-esteem. She was a residential Art Teacher in the U.K. for four years in an international Krishnamurti school where she developed inquiry-based, multidisciplinary curriculum, taught Human Ecology, and was a Curriculum Coordinator. She is now employed by Helium Arts, advocating creative practices as a way for young people living with illness to be empowered and live full lives. Past exhibitions include the Engage Studios annual member show, Body and Soul music festival, the Sarah Walker Gallery Graduate Show, Re:Collection, Cork School of Music. Her work is held in public collections at MTU and the Cork School of Music, and by many private collectors.
