A huge thank you to Quarter Block Party, the participants, Esther Rodríguez Barbero, North Main Street, the different speakers and everyone who attended the Talking over a Common Ground at Quarter Block Party talks at St. Peter's Cork, Cork Community Art Link, National Sculpture Factory as well as our funders and partners for making the first meeting of the Common Ground project what it was.
Here are some photos of the week!
COMMON GROUND is a training and research project, bringing together artists and those active in the social fields to develop strategies, explore methodologies within the broader frame of socially engaged art. Over the course of a year, this project will allow the group to explore 'parachute strategies' - interventions, one off events or remote practices - in order to engage with local communities within the international and migratory contexts they often find themselves in.
The project, developed by six European partner organisations active on this field, will 'twin' North Main Street and Népszínház utca in Budapest, Hungary and will result in a publication of a book and a specific programme of events as part of QBP19.
Common Ground is funded by the European Commission through Erasmus+
