Interference 2010
21-25 June 2010
Combine art, politics and protest in Interference 2010
We’re looking for artists, non-conformists, pissed off individuals, alternative thinkers and people who want to make and shake things up to join us in addressing and acting upon climate change, the environment and other social and political issues of the day.
Artsadmin’s Interference is an intensive weeklong series of collaborative workshops, actions and events in June, offering you the chance to work with new people who have a range of experiences, to test ideas in a supportive environment and to push both art and activism in an array of new directions.
Working alongside artist activists Beth Whelan and Julie Hill, participants will develop new ways of working together and making a difference. During the week we’ll look at two approaches to making change happen; reacting against present systems and creating new visions for the future. These approaches will include:
Story-telling and myth making
The history of creative resistance and some of its triumphs
Climbing and reclaiming public space
Urban foraging
Self-publishing
Skill-sharing
Night biking
Evening escapades
Intervening and interfering in everyday life, with encouraging support from guest interventionists sharing their ways of working.
The week will be based at Artsadmin’s Toynbee Studios home in East London and will be punctuated by activities and trips with a focus on participation, engaging with people who inspire and excite.
How to join us!
Interference is open to people from all backgrounds and experiences, so if you are new to art or activism and want to give it a try, if you’re interested in working collaboratively or being part of an empowering movement, then please write a short paragraph explaining why you want to get involved and send it to heather(AT)artsadmin.co.uk
Please note participants should be prepared to not only think about change, but act on it!
The workshop is limited to 20 places, so get in touch as soon as possible. The deadline for expression of interest is Friday 4 June. Open to anyone who’s 16+.
