Amy Gear and Daniel Clark, founders of Gaada in Shetland, describe how they are “creating an art world on an island.”
Led by Garth Gratrix from Abingdon Studios
Assembly Blackpool took place online via Zoom on Tuesday 28 September, 10am – 4.30pm & Wednesday 29 September, 10am – 4.30am
The event was free, as part of a-n membership.
Garth Gratrix, artist and Founding Director of Abingdon Studios, will be logging in from Blackpool to host a-n’s first digital Assembly of 2021. The Coast Is Queer is a two-day event inviting artists, artist-led spaces, organisations and institutions who are located on the edges of the UK, to open a discussion on coastal practice and queerness.
The event aims to address curiosity around the clandestine ways in which LGBTQIA+ artists live, work and cruise materials and spaces alone, apart and together. Contributors to the event will raise questions; How do we work to define or refine a future arts sector that considers ‘queerness’ as a better starting point to ‘new-normal’? How might we collaborate with the coast, as a space for solidarity, new systems of support and respite?
Assembly Blackpool will create space to share lived experiences of being LGBTQIA+ and promenade our future queer potential. Contributions include a breakout session with Dr Susan Jones, former Director of a-n, a new sound and film commission and an open call opportunity to LGBTQIA+ artists living on the coast.
Please log in to view more.
