This five-day course, bookable through the University of Brighton, offers an exploration of current debates and practices in contemporary participatory, inclusive and collaborative arts.
Examine a variety of arts disciplines including theatre, performance, animation, film and visual arts. Together with course leaders unpick how to best use these to engage marginalised groups such as people with learning disabilities, people with mental health diagnosis, offenders, the elderly, homeless people and refugees.
As well as incorporating presentations from the seminar series, the daily sessions involve dialogue, debate, creative exploration through interaction with Tate’s collection and thinking through doing.
Topics deliberated include safe, ethical practice, self advocacy, expanded practices of listening, service user experience and producing art from the margins.
Together we will be asking:
- What place do the arts have in the refugee crisis?
- How can we use creative practices in community settings as a catalyst for social change?
- How can collaborative work with vulnerable people be safe and effective?
- How does the artist shift from facilitator to collaborator?
The course offers participants the opportunity to develop their ideas and practice and to set their own experiences and ambitions within a wider theoretical, social, political and professional context.

This event is programmed by the University of Brighton, a Tate Exchange Associate.
