COLLECTIVE ACTS OF REFLECTION, REMEMBRANCE, HOPE AND HEALING
WITH COMMUNITIES ACROSS SCOTLAND
Are you a Stirlingshire-based artist and facilitator, working with communities in any artform?
Do you have experiences of practising and living as an artist in the pandemic that you would like to share and reflect on?
I would like to meet you!
I am Saffy, an artist commissioned by Greenspace Stirling and Scene Stirling to lead on Phase 1 of Remembering Together across the region. My brief is to research, imagine and generate ideas with communities, to inform the making of Covid Community Memorials in Phase 2 . This research project will last until January 2023. The aim is to co-create an artist’s brief for the memorials which reflects the multiple perspectives and places of Stirling. I am from a dance background, however my practice encompases a wide range of practices such as walking, writing, ecological practices, sensory exercises and working with materials.
I would like to invite you to a gathering, an opportunity to:
Meet new faces and catch up with familiar artists in the region over lunch
Share reflections on living and practising as an artist during the pandemic
