On Wednesday April 17th, ArtWorks Alliance, will be hosting our second Spring Gathering for 2024, taking the theme of Crossing Boundaries. Katharine Wheeler will be facilitating the session, based on her experience of Creative Placemaking.
Katharine is a Visual and Social Practice Artist who co-ordinates Partnerships and Project Development for ArtWorks Alliance member organisation The Stove Network in Dumfries. She has just published Embers: a handbook aimed at groups and individuals who are active, or wanting to be active, in bringing about positive change in the places they live. It introduces creative placemaking as a way of making those changes led from within communities.
Katharine will be running an online workshop for the ArtWorks Alliance, based on the Embers Handbook: “How do we work together in communities with others to provoke new ways of doing things? What is our contribution to the foundations required for places to take work forward in the long-term? In this workshop we will look at this through the different lenses of Creativity, Community, Space / Place, Activism, Power, and Impact to think about how participatory practice supports a form of creative exploration that is about asking questions together and trying on possible answers in ways that make room for different experiences and perspectives.”
