SUMMARY:Social Role of the Artist: a research workshop
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nHave your say about our next research topic: the social role of the artist.  \nThe Centre for Cultural Value conducts regular research reviews – a rapid assessment of published literature to present a ‘snapshot’ of the research across a topic. We share these summary findings in an accessible digest\, so it can usefully shape future practice and policy.  \nOur next review will focus on the social role of the artist. Join us to set our agenda and help shape future cultural policy that best supports artists.  \n  \nWhat is the role of the artist in society\, and how do we capture their social value?  \nThe artist’s role in society has long been a topic of debate. Over the last decade\, in the face of large global challenges\, these conversations have become more relevant than ever. This is especially the case as artists adapt their practice to respond to social\, environmental and political issues.  \nBut how do we understand what role artists play in society?  \nThis interactive workshop will refine the scope of our next research review so it’s as useful and relevant as possible to artists\, cultural practitioners\, voluntary and community groups\, arts organisations\, institutions and those who fund cultural activity and develop cultural policy.  \nOur research review will examine the evidence base surrounding the social role of the artist. It will explore artists working within communities\, artists’ role in relation to place\, socially engaged practice and artists’ livelihoods. The themes within this will be shaped and refined with your input.  \nThe workshop will focus on present-day society\, so historical research into the social role of the artist is out of scope.  \n  \nShaping our research topic – where should we focus?  \nThe workshop will be facilitated by Chuck Lowry who specialises in art as social practice. We’ll also be welcoming four guest contributors currently working in this field: Kerry Harker\, Susan Jones\, Eleonora Belfiore and Jacob Thompson-Bell.  \nWe’ll start by introducing the initial scoping we have done in this area. Then we’ll work together as a group to define the questions and sub-topics you would find most useful for us to include in the research review.  \n  \nWho’s this workshop for?  \nYou’ll be working as an artist\, cultural practitioner or curators\, with experience or interest in socially engaged practice. Or you might be a researcher or policymaker with a specific interest in this area.  \nThe workshop has a limited number of spaces which are prioritised for people working in this area. On this occasion\, our event isn’t suitable for students.  \n  \nWhat will the resulting research review look like?  \nHere’s an example of a research review into everyday creativity.  \n  \nCan I contribute to shaping the review in an alternative way?  \nIf you would like to shape our review but cannot attend the event\, or you can attend but would also like to contribute some ideas in writing\, please complete this short form.   \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A shift to focus on learning over outcomes and to centre the experiences\, values and viewpoints of the people and participants who are at the heart of the cultural activity. \nJoin us as we introduce our cultural evaluation principles\, which have been co-created over the last year working with a group of cultural professionals including those who do evaluation\, those who use it\, and whose work is evaluated. \nThe principles are a sharing of ideas to inform how evaluation is carried out and used within the sector. They are very much the start of a conversation and they will evolve in response to feedback over the next year. \nChaired by Anne Torreggiani\, we are delighted to be hosting short provocations from guest speakers including Kully Thiarai of Leeds 2023\, Rishi Coupland from BFI\, Kati Price from the V&A and Grace Bremner of Creative Civic Change alongside a local resident from one of the Creative Civic Change projects. Speakers will share their big picture thinking on what evaluation could look like in an ideal world. Dr Beatriz Garcia\, Oliver Mantell and Vishalakshi Roy will introduce you to the evaluation principles and the process by which they were developed.  \nWho’s this event for? \nThis event is for cultural evaluation specialists\, cultural sector practitioners interested in evaluation and funders. \nAccessibility \nWe want to make the webinar a positive experience for all participants. If you have access needs please let us know in advance at ccv@leeds.ac.uk \nLive transcription by a palantypist (speech to text reporter) is provided for this session. Transcription will be available on Zoom captions\, and on StreamText.net. \nThe session takes place on Zoom. Read Zoom’s accessibility FAQ’s here.

SUMMARY:Everyday creativity: a research workshop
DESCRIPTION:Everyday creativity challenges the idea that art is only something that artists do by exploring the many and diverse creative and cultural activities that people do every day at home or in their community. But how do we capture the value of everyday creativity and the difference it makes to people and communities?\nIn this interactive workshop\, you’ll help us refine the scope of our next research review so it’s as useful and relevant as possible to cultural practitioners\, voluntary and community groups\, participatory arts organisations and those who fund cultural activity and develop cultural policy. \nOur research review will examine the evidence base surrounding everyday creativity. It will explore the value of activities that are facilitated by amateur or voluntary groups in shared community spaces\, and activity that is self-initiated and takes place at home. The themes within this will be shaped and refined with your input. \nThe workshop won’t cover everyday creativity that’s facilitated by professional artists as there is already a focus on this area and we want to shine a light on the evidence around voluntary\, amateur and self-facilitated activity. \nShaping our research topic – where should we focus? \nThe workshop will be facilitated by Chuck Lowry and we’ll also have guest contributors who are working in this field (names to be confirmed). \nWe’ll start by introducing the initial scoping we have done in this area. Then we’ll work together as a group to define the questions and sub-topics you would find most useful for us to include in the research review. \nWho’s this workshop for? \nYou’ll be working in voluntary / amateur / community settings\, with experience or interest in creative activities. Or you might be a researcher or policy maker with a specific interest in this area. Please note the workshop won’t include a focus on work that’s facilitated by professional artists. \nThe workshop has a limited number of spaces which are prioritised for people working in this area. It isn’t suitable for students. \nWhat’s a research review? \nWe review and summarise existing research within a topic area and share these summary findings in an accessible digest\, so it can usefully shape future practice and policy. Here’s an example of a research review into culture on referral programmes. \nPlease could you also fill out this short survey to help us shape the review by following the link here. \nAccessibility \nWe want to make the webinar a positive experience for all participants. If you have particular access needs please let us know in advance at ccv@leeds.ac.uk \nLive transcription by a palantypist (speech to text reporter) is provided for this session. Transcription will be available on Zoom captions\, and on StreamText.net. \nThe session takes place on Zoom. Read Zoom’s accessibility FAQ’s here. \nImage: Fun Palaces 2019.

SUMMARY:Recovery and renewal: creative approaches to the Covid crisis
DESCRIPTION:How have cultural organisations responded and adapted to the Covid crisis? What new ways of working have emerged as a result?\nThe pandemic has forced the cultural sector to reassess\, regroup and reimagine. With buildings closed\, audiences at home and jobs on the line\, cultural organisations have had to innovate\, upskill and adapt in order to survive\, and continue engaging audiences. \nHow successful have these new ways of working been? What challenges have organisations had to overcome\, and what learnings can we take with us moving forward? \nJoin us for the second webinar from our major research programme examining the impact of Covid-19 on the cultural sector\, we’ll be looking at examples of creative and inspiring approaches to the crisis. You’ll hear from project researchers John Wright\, Karen Gray\, Eva McAvoy\, Harry Weeks and Danielle Child\, who between them have interviewed cultural sector workers from over 50 different organisations across the UK. \nYou’ll also hear first-hand perspectives from two of our case-study participants including Liz Chege\, film programmer\, critic\, curator\, and director of Africa in Motion\, as well as Julia Negus\, award-winning artist-producer with Theatre Absolute\, who will share how their organisations have adapted and innovated in the face of Covid-19. \nThe webinar will be chaired by Dr Abigail Gilmore. \nThis research programme is led by the Centre for Cultural Value in collaboration with the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre and The Audience Agency. It is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) through UK Research and Innovation’s COVID-19 rapid rolling call. \nThis is the second of our webinars sharing emerging findings from the research. You can watch the first webinar\, looking at inequalities\, here. The research programme runs until November 2021 and there will be further events in November to share final findings. \nAccessibility\nWe want to make the webinar a positive experience for all participants. If you have particular access needs please let us know in advance at ccv@leeds.ac.uk \nLive transcription by a Palantypist (Speech to Text Reporter) is provided for this session. Transcription will be available on Zoom captions\, and on StreamText.net. \nIf you will be using the transcription to access the session or have any other accessibility requirements\, please let us know in the booking form in good time before the event date. \nThe session takes place on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Older people - culture\, community and connection
DESCRIPTION:A research workshop\nWhat’s the impact of cultural participation in later life\, and how do we capture its value for people and communities?\nIn this interactive workshop\, you’ll help us refine the scope of our next research review so it’s as useful and relevant as possible to people working in the cultural sector\, as well as those who fund cultural activity and develop cultural policy. \nOur research review will examine the evidence base surrounding the cultural participation of older people\, with a focus on community and connection*. Within this we are anticipating exploring themes such as loneliness\, isolation\, resilience and wellbeing\, but this will be shaped and refined with your input. \nShaping our research topic – where should we focus?\nThe workshop will be facilitated by Chuck Lowry and we’ll also have guest contributors who are working in this field (names to be confirmed). We’ll start by introducing the initial scoping we have done in this area. Then we’ll work together as a group to define the questions and sub-topics you would find most useful for us to include in the research review. \nWho’s this workshop for?\nYou’ll be working in the cultural sector specifically on projects with older people\, or as a researcher or policy maker in this area. The workshop has a limited number of spaces which are prioritised for people working in this area. It isn’t suitable for students. \nWhat’s a research review?\nWe review and summarise existing research within a topic area and share these summary findings in an accessible digest\, so it can usefully shape future practice and policy. Here’s an example of a research review into culture on referral programmes. \n*NB We are already undertaking a separate research review into older people\, cultural participation and physical health. This event and the subsequent research review is focusing on older people and how cultural participation can build community and connection. \nIf you are unable to attend the workshop please complete this short survey to share your thoughts about this research review. \nImage: Still from We Are All Artists\, an Artlink West Yorkshire film by Sally Molineaux

SUMMARY:Covid-19: "The great unequaliser?"
DESCRIPTION:Early evidence shows that Covid-19 is exacerbating existing inequalities in the cultural sector.\nIs the pandemic the catalyst the sector needs to build a more equal future?

SUMMARY:What is the value of online cultural engagement?
DESCRIPTION:What does meaningful digital engagement look like and does it change the way we value culture?\n**Waiting list only** \nIn the current climate\, it’s likely that the growth in online cultural engagement in the UK will continue for the foreseeable\, as cultural organisations have pivoted the focus of their work from live experiences to digital output and engagement. \nBut how does online engagement change the way we value culture? What can we learn from organisations that have found ways to engage with audiences and the community with and without using digital engagement\, and what is the emerging research telling us about digital engagement with culture and its associated new ways of creating value? \nIn this session you’ll hear from Kim Wide\, CEO and Artistic Director of Take A Part\, an organisation that has focused on in-person engagement through lockdown\, Portia Tremlett\, Public Programme Engagement Officer at Novium Museum\, who are developing online field trips for schools\, Rishi Coupland\, Head of Data Intelligence at National Theatre who brought theatre into our homes\, and Hasan Bakhshi\, Director of the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre\, Nesta\, which recently published a report into online cultural consumption.

SUMMARY:Failure – the ultimate taboo?
DESCRIPTION:How can we better recognise\, acknowledge and learn from failure?\n**Waiting list only** \nNot every cultural participation project will achieve the impact that it set out to or deliver all the aims for all its stakeholders. This doesn’t mean that these projects are not of value or cannot generate wider learning. \nThe FailSpace research project\, led by Dr Leila Jankovich\, University of Leeds and Dr David Stevenson\, Queen Margaret University\, explores how cultural policy can better recognise\, acknowledge and learn from failure. \nThis interactive session will share some findings from the research and invite you to propose and discuss ways in which the cultural sector can have more honest conversations about its failure. \nDemand for demonstrating impact often means we default to making the case for the value of participation projects rather than identifying opportunities to learn and change. \nWe believe that critically reflecting on both success and failure\, drawing on a range of different perspectives\, is the best route to ensuring this sort of learning takes place and can be built on and shared in future.

SUMMARY:Young people and mental health: shaping our research
DESCRIPTION:Mental wellbeing makes headlines every day\, with an estimated one in ten children and young people in the UK living with a mental health diagnosis.\n**Waiting list only** \nWith Covid-19 creating an environment for heightened loneliness and isolation\, there’s a need for a stronger focus on the mental health of young people. \nThe Centre for Cultural Value is currently developing a research digest which centres on the question: what is the value of cultural experiences for young people’s mental health\, wellbeing and resilience? Our role is to review and summarise existing research and to share these summary findings in an accessible digest\, to help inform future practice and policy. \nJoin us for an interactive workshop where we share the introductory stages of our research in this area and invite you to feed in your ideas to the development of this research review\, so we can tailor the digest to be as useful as possible to the sector and policymakers. \nSome areas of cultural practice focusing on mental health have strong evidence-based research demonstrating strengths\, whereas other areas have been under-researched. Led by artist and facilitator Viv Gordon\, you’ll help shape the research digest and collectively identify the strengths\, challenges and knowledge gaps in practice and research in the sector. \nAlso participating in the discussion are Dr Robyn Dowlen\, Centre for Cultural Value who is writing the research digest\, Dr Kat Taylor from Greater Manchester’s Arts and Mental Health Innovation programme\, Kevin Edward Turner\, dancer and co-artistic director of Company Chameleon and Errol Francis\, CEO at Culture&. \nThis event is also part of Beyond Measure\, a collaboration between the Leeds Arts Health and Wellbeing Network\, Cultural Institute and Centre for Cultural Value. Beyond Measure is a programme of digital engagement exploring research and evidence in culture and health.

SUMMARY:Who and what is evaluation for? And when is it useful? 
DESCRIPTION:Why do we evaluate our work and who do we do it for?\nIs it to meet the expectations of funders and stakeholders or to assess a project’s success and capture the difference it makes? Are we missing a trick if we don’t use evaluation as an opportunity to enhance our practice and deepen our learning and critical reflection skills? When is evaluation useful and when should we not do it? \nJoin us to discuss and question evaluation in the cultural sector and explore how we might be able to do and share it better\, so collectively we can articulate the difference culture makes to people and to society. \nLed by Anne Torreggiani\, the Centre Co-Director and CEO of The Audience Agency\, we’re also joined by artist Grace Ndiritu\, who works collaboratively with museums across Europe\, Hilary Jennings from the The Happy Museum Project that looks at how the museum sector can respond to the challenge of creating a more sustainable future\, Holly Donagh\, Director of Strategic Learning\, Insight and Influence at Paul Hamlyn Foundation\, Harpreet Kaur\, consultant and project manager at Xtrax and Chris Batsford. The session is introduced by Beatriz Garcia from the University of Liverpool.

SUMMARY:What does cultural participation look like with and post Covid-19?
DESCRIPTION:How do you create opportunities for cultural participation in communities through a global pandemic?\n**Waiting list only** \nWe’ve been entertained and engaged during lockdown\, as cultural organisations and creative practitioners have created an impressive array of rapid responses during the ongoing pandemic to try and keep us connected to their work and to each other. \nAs a society\, we have learnt to adapt to the current environment\, initially mindful that it was ‘short term’. But as new lockdowns roll on and off across the country…what happens next and how do you create opportunities for cultural participation in communities through a global pandemic? \nChaired by academic researcher Dave O’Brien\, join our contributors to hear what they have learnt during this time and how they might have done things differently\, so we can gain insights into how we can help understand cultural value in the future. \nThe line-up includes Zulfiqar Ahmed\, an expert in community-led development and now progressing\, in the midst of coronavirus\, the 10-year £3.5m Bradford Creative People and Places project The Leap; Amerah Saleh\, General Manager of youth organisation Beatfreeks\, whose recent Take The Temperature report focused on the impact of coronavirus on young people; Nisha Tandon OBE\, director of ArtsEkta\, who has created cultural activity packs and an online Mela in Belfast\, and Sarah Clarke\, Learning & Participation Manager at the National Civil War Centre\, who are creating activity boxes for schools with genuine and replica artefacts.

SUMMARY:Whose cultural values?
DESCRIPTION:Does everyone place a value on culture and if so\, do they value it in the same way?\n**Waiting list only** \nAnd do people get the opportunity to engage in what they value most? \nWhilst many argue that art\, heritage and culture define what it means to be human\, it doesn’t mean that we all share the same idea of what culture is\, or how it plays a role in our lives. \nWe’ve brought together contributors whose work is reshaping cultural value in the UK\, including Tobi Kyeremateng\, whose initiative Black Ticket Project gives young Black people free access to the theatre\, artist and activist Harry Josephine Giles\, who is currently producing a disabled artists’ manifesto ‘imagining a crip future’\, Rabab Ghazoul\, director of Gentle/Radical\, a cultural and community organisation in Cardiff working hyper-locally from a basis of social and healing justice\, and Dadirai Tsopo of Hard Times Require Furious Dancing and Wales House Farm Big Local\, whose work focuses on ‘enabling voices from the grassroots a place to be heard’. Chaired by Eleonora Belfiore of Loughborough University. \nTogether they will discuss the headline ideas of cultural value and cultural engagement in the UK and how we can see and move beyond them. How can we step outside the established norm and reshape what cultural value looks like? Audience participation encouraged!
