SUMMARY:Heart of Glass: Heart of Glass: Open Space: How can we begin to tak
 e care of ourselves while working with\, for and about others?
DESCRIPTION:As austerity increasingly impacts on the communities we work wi
 th and funding cuts have made the precarity of artists’ lives becomes mo
 re and more of a reality\, how can we begin to take care of ourselves whil
 e working with and for others?\n\nRecent reports note the impact ‘low pa
 y\, a lack of work-life balance\, limited opportunities for career develop
 ment and the ongoing pressure to do more with less’ is having on the ‘
 cultural workforce’\,  especially artists and freelance workers. A situ
 ation that is leading to an ‘increasingly high’ risk of burnout.\n\nTh
 e precarious nature of freelance work\, a lack of on-going support and the
  emotional and physical toll of working with communities facing incredible
  hardship often compounds these effects on individual artists. Especially 
 when collaborative and social arts practice is increasingly being asked to
  replace the social structure of our society.\n\nHow\, in difficult times 
 for artists and communities\, might we:\n\n 	begin to work in solidarity a
 cross disciplines and sectors to achieve the kinds of conditions that make
  our work have real impact?\n 	resist short-term funding\, the cultural eq
 uivalent of zero hours contracts and insist arts and cultural organisation
 s recognise the time it takes to build up trust and make meaningful and tr
 uly collaborative work?\n 	find the right balance between empathy and self
 -care?\n\nAs cuts to funding begin to impact even more severely on communi
 ties and artists working with them\, we invite you to join us for Open Spa
 ce to explore notions of care.\n\nThe session is for anyone who is artist
 ically engaged in social and collaborative arts practice\; it will be fac
 ilitated by Chrissie Tiller (Creative Consultant and Practitioner) and Emm
 a Fry (Criticality Producer\, Heart of Glass)\, with a provocation by arti
 st Sheila Ghelani. Please find full biographies below.\n\n\n\nTickets\n\nT
 his is a Pay What You Can event. Please donate an amount of your choice wh
 en registering for a ticket here.\n\n\n\nLocation \n\nHeart of Glass\, O

 raphies \n\nChrissie Tiller \n\nChrissie Tiller is a passionate writer\
 , thinker\, teacher\, and practitioner with a lifetime’s history of work
 ing through collaborative and social practice: particularly in cross-cultu
 ral and trans-national contexts and with places undergoing social\, econom
 ic and political change.  Her recent think piece for Creative People and
  Places\, Power Up\, explores the current state of collaborative arts pr
 actice: including examining notions of privilege\, cultural capital\, poli
 tics\, personal values and ethics in bringing about cultural democracy and
  social justice.\n\nSheila Ghelani\n\nSheila’s work spans performance\,
  installation\, participatory event and moving image. She is very inter
 ested in hybridity (informed by her own mixed heritage) and the practice
  of medicine and care. In the summer of 2017 she worked in St Helens with 
 residents of Parr Mount Court and Heald Farm Court to make Getting To Kno
 w You  a project which resulted in 260 china teacups (decorated with a pa
 ttern designed by the residents) being gifted to everyone in each of the s
 chemes\, and a set of three posters. She is currently sharing Common Sa
 lt\, her performance made in collaboration with artist Sue Palmer\, in m
 useums\, galleries\, libraries and arts spaces across the UK.
