LOCATE: Scotland’s places
How does the geographic diversity of our villages, towns and cities influence our experience of community and creativity, and how might those differences be reflected in the emergence of distinctive creative projects? How might creative projects (re)shape the way we experience our places?
This event connected with people and projects curious about the connection between people, place and creativity. Speakers – from the Culture Collective and beyond – discussed their experiences, questions, learning and hopes for the journey ahead.
The event was hosted by Emma Jayne Park – Dancer, theatre maker, facilitator and activist.
Speakers included:
- Lauren La Rose and Mark Lyken – project coordinator and artist with Alchemy Film and Arts’ The Teviot, the flag, and the rich rich soil.
- Kerry Jones and Tom Swift – Alchemy commissioned filmmaker and Alchemy Film Town coordinator
- Rory Laycock – artist with The Stove Network’s What We Do Now.
- Natalia Palombo and Robyn Wolsey – director and producer at Deveron Projects
- Michael Bowdidge – community development lead at WHALE Arts
- Lucy MacLeod – Outpost Arts
