2020-11-03 14:00 - 15:30 UTC | Online
How do you know the cultural value of your work?
**Waiting list only**
Join us to discuss what value research can bring to your creative practice and find out how the Centre for Cultural Value can support you to develop your own research project.
This workshop is for people working in cultural sector organisations or individual practitioners in the UK. It isn’t suitable for researchers, students or international guests.
Led by Lisa Baxter, The Experience Business, with Becky Parnell, Manchester Camerata and Liz Harrop, Centre for Cultural Value this interactive workshop will provide insights into the benefits of engaging in research and an opportunity to shape the Centre for Cultural Value’s Collaborate programme, which will launch in early 2021, supporting collaborative research projects responding to sector-driven questions and artist-led curiosity.

Whose cultural values?
2020-11-02 14:00 - 15:30
Does everyone place a value on culture and if so, do they value it in the same way?
**Waiting list only**
And do people get the opportunity to engage in what they value most?
Whilst 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.
We’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.
Together 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!
