 \n\nAbout Beverley\n\nBeverley Bennett is an artist-filmmaker whose work 
 revolves around the possibilities of drawing\, performance and collaborati
 on. Her practice connects multiple ways of making. The first of these is a
  concern with the importance of ‘gatherings’ to denote a methodology t
 hat differs from the more hierarchical model of the workshop\; one person 
 leading and sharing information with participants taking part in the activ
 ities. Instead ‘gatherings’ are cyclical\, whereby everyone learns fro
 m each other and often formulate in myriad ways\, from reading together to
  gathering at a party. This has created a ‘tapestry of voices’\, an in
 terweaving of communalities and differences that provide a broader view\, 
 an important part of amplifying intergenerational relationships.\n\nThe se
 cond is an investigation of the idea of The Archive (often beginning proje
 cts by creating / adding to her own extensive personal archives of intervi
 ews\, using them for preliminary research and experimentation) and the thi
 rd is collaboration. This is frequently through socially political work wi
 th other creatives\, fine artists\, community members\, young children and
  their families. Her practice provides spaces for participants to become c
 ollaborators and provides a point of focus from where to unpick ideas arou
 nd what constitutes an art practice and for whom art is generated. \n\nBe
 nnett’s work has been shown nationally and internationally\; venues incl
 ude the British Film Institute (BFI)\, London (2023)\; Birmingham 2022 Fes
