{"uid":"57ZyCizbYj6CVUvX","type":"curator","tags":[],"group":"yes","group_name":null,"project_title":"A Gathering of Unasked Possibility","summary":"A Gathering of Unasked Possibility is a series of events by artists, researchers, and activists who interrogate our contemporary moment of precarity - climate, political, economic, social - through their practices. We will create a propositional space both in situ and in the virtual realm with breathing room for alternative ways of thinking, expressing, and being.\n \nEvents will include workshops, talks, reading groups, guided field trips, making, and residencies. To minimize our carbon footprint while expanding our reach globally, we will offer real-time complementary programming through the online platform Mighty Networks.\n \nLocal and international practitioners will bring the ethos, activation, and community engagement seeded at the inaugural Unasked in Bristol, UK. We will leverage the groundwork, experience, and momentum garnered in November 2019.\n \nWe propose organizing a series of gatherings over the duration of the project based on the following themes: Ritual, Resistance, Resources, Renewal. Activities and events will sensitively engage new audiences within the local community, respond to local context, and foreground hospitality and gifting as forms of heart-centered engagement in a collaborative format.\n  \nOur proposal places critical thinking and the generation of new forms of collaborative knowledge as a central focus. We aim to facilitate an experiment in collaboration and co-existence, a hub for meaningful encounters, and to record this experience as it evolves.","space":"Accessible within a community, with high-speed internet access for virtual programming, and a space we can arrange for a range of programming: conversation area(s), making, talks, wall space, and exhibition. We could transform a space over the course of the program via invited artists and community members to interact with it through mark-making, installations that evolve over time, and planned activities. Ideal dimensions would be approximately 100 to 150 m2","artists_proposal":"Some of these are examples from previous iterations of Unasked which illustrate our approach to source local and international collaborators. We would invite similar (local and international) participants to develop site-specific programming. \n\nMahal Palace of Plastic https:\/\/www.projectanywhere.net\/plastic-mahal-palace-of-plastic\/\nAir Apparent https:\/\/airapparentuk.wordpress.com\nBirch Tree Folk Choir http:\/\/birchtreechoir.com \nRepair Cafe https:\/\/repaircafe.org \nCraftivist Collective workshop https:\/\/craftivist-collective.com","members":[{"names":"Lydia","surname":"Halcrow","email":"lydia.halcrow09@bathspa.ac.uk","dni_type":"Other","dni":"JP908929B","address":"28 Prospect Place, Camden Road","city":"Bath, BA1 5JD","nacionality":"UK","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1978-05-05T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1978-05-05T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+447786417954","web":"https:\/\/www.lydiahalcrow.com\/"},{"names":"Rachel","surname":"Jones","email":"rachel.jones18@bathspa.ac.uk","dni_type":"Other","dni":"JJ149880A","address":"22 Gibbs Road","city":"Newport, NP19 8AT","nacionality":"UK","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1977-01-22T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1977-01-22T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+447946053604","web":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rachfjones\/"},{"names":"Kelly Marie","surname":"O'Brien","email":"kelly.obrien17@bathspa.ac.uk","dni_type":"Other","dni":"ST337239D","address":"Priory Farm Barn","city":"Stanton Prior, Bath, BA2 9HU","nacionality":"US","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1963-01-03T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1963-01-03T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+447983312643","web":"kellyobrien.art"},{"names":"Judith","surname":"Rodgers","email":"judith.rodgers17@bathspa.ac.uk","dni_type":"Other","dni":"503956A","address":"32 Newtown","city":"Bradford-on-Avon, BA1 1NF","nacionality":"UK","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1969-01-23T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1969-01-23T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+447984182367","web":"unaskedpossibility.art"}],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Kelly Marie","surname":"O'Brien","email":"kelly.obrien17@bathspa.ac.uk","dni_type":"Other","dni":"ST337239D","address":"Priory Farm Barn","city":"Stanton Prior Bath","nacionality":"US","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1963-01-03T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1963-01-03T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+447983312643","web":"unaskedpossibility.net"}
