Sea Change: Community Arts Encounters Conference
Cork Community Art Link, Community Arts Partnership, School of Social Applied Sciences and Blue Drum Agency thank you for your participation in the Sea Change conference and workshop.
Thank You
Rita Fagan, Ed Carol, Carole Kane, Ann O’Connor and Francois Matarasso for your presentations.
Emma Bowell, Judie Chalmers, John O’Sullivan, Tadgh Crowley, Ann Lyons, Justine Foster and William Frode de la Foret for your panel contributions.
Stephanie Heckman for your graphic visualisation .
Rosie Meade for your contribution and chairing of the conference.
Eddie Noonan from Frameworks for filming and editing a video relating to these two days that will come soon.
OUTCOMES
It was important for us to not only meet, listen and talk, but that there would be something tangible emerging from those encounters. Something allowing us to connect better, to exchange, learn from each other and build on from our shared experience. Something flexible enough, and inclusive, allowing many to participate.
Following on Saturday’s workshop, two collaborative projects arose. Two avenues to continue the conversation and move it to the next level.

"I remember" Community Art Project
A simple collection of powerful testimonies of how people have engaged in community arts, right across the island of Ireland that will document the variety of its experiences.
Community arts memories, short insights responding to the verbal prompt: “I remember…“
"I remember kids scrambling through the woods building fantasy beasts out of sticks and leaves and feathers."
"I remember my daughter twirling on the streets of Cork on the day of parade."
All these memories will be compiled on a website which would act as a repository.
Then, we hope to compile them into a book, “I remember…”
“Squeezed” project
Inspired by comments form Rita Fagan…
"We need to keep fighting back
People who have the least have been squeezed the most, for twenty years.
Who is going to tell their story? "
The main narrative is that austerity is over -
yet, the impact is not.
After his participation as a speaker and facilitator for Sea Change, Francois Matarasso wrote an article: "Let’s talk about money".
We encourage everybody to read his book A Restless Art; How Participation Won and Why it Matters. Published by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation at a very modest price.
