Collaboration and Exchange Collaboration is at its heart, providing opportunities for artists and other individuals, venues and organisations in both cities to participate. Its focus is on the contemporary arts and on developing access to them through educational and other partnerships. Eight Days A Week seeks to develop creative dialogue between the cities of Liverpool and Cologne through an ongoing cultural exchange programme that promotes greater awareness and understanding of each other. Developing
Audiences and Participation
Eight Days a Week seeks to open up artists’ practices to new audiences and new communities, to generate informed and critical public debate around contemporary art and culture, to develop educational links and participatory opportunities involving a range of established and new community organisations across Merseyside and the Cologne region. We plan to coordinate a series of Discussion Forums around Merseyside to facilitate this process. The target audience will be students, recent graduates and people working and interested in the cultural industries and given the composition of the steering group we are confident we can maximise these opportunities to develop these and reach new audiences. Eight
Days A Week have negotiate with organisations and venues, their curators,
educationalists and community development officers who have participated
in the programme over recent years, including Bluecoat Arts Centre,
Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool University, Liverpool Hope,
Liverpool Community College, Blackburn House, Croxteth Hall, Kirkby
Unemployed Centre, Knowsley Galleries in Kirkby and Huyton, Unity Theatre,
Arena Studios, Merseyside Youth Association and the Basement Project.In
addition to this we will create new opportunities to develop site related
works and exhibitions in alternative places and spaces, schools and
colleges, churches and cathedrals. |
