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? What questions should we be asking and how can we accelerate the pace of change? \nIn this webinar\, we share emerging findings from our major research programme examining the impact of Covid-19 on the cultural sector. We’ll focus on what the research is telling us about inequality\, and you’ll hear from project researchers including Mark Taylor\, Karen Gray\, Ben Dunn\, John Wright and Oliver Mantell. \nWe’ll be joined by leading contributors including Dr Roaa Ali from the University of Manchester and Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity and Lara Ratnaraja\, a cultural consultant who specialises in diversity\, leadership\, collaboration and innovation in cultural policy. They will respond to the research findings and share their thoughts on what needs to happen next. \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 first of our webinars sharing emerging findings from the research\, with another scheduled for June. 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. \nThe session takes place on Zoom. Read Zoom’s accessibility FAQ’s here.

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: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: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.

SUMMARY:We need to talk about evaluation
DESCRIPTION:We need to talk about evaluation…\nWe are hearing a clear call for a profound shift in our shared understanding of evaluation. 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: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]
