We are pleased to collaborate with our partners CREATE in Ireland in the context of a Networking Day for Collaborative Arts. Other partners include Crawford Gallery Cork and the Cork City Arts Office.

The Networking Day promises to open up a space to ask a shared and urgent question: how can collaborative forms of arts practice – engaging with the embodied experiences and knowledge of citizens – initiate and implement civic agency and significant momentum for social change?

We will begin the day looking at the role of the arts institution as constituent museum, with a central focus on socially engaged artist Tania Bruguera’s work on the Tate Modern Turbine Hall Hyundai Commission. Bruguera will be joined b Cara Courage, Head of Tate Exchange; Jane Wells, Programme Manager of Tate Exchange, and Tate Neighbours Natalie Bell, Shamus Dark, Debra Reis and Charles Yassin. This session will be chaired by Áine O Brien, Co-Director Counterpoints Arts.

For more detail on the day, the full range breakout sessions and parallel workshops, see here.
