#IIC AHRA Situated Ecologies Conference: Presenting Time after Time

  The content and aims of my Major Project, Time after Time  correspond with some of the AHA conference themes and offer an opportunity to test the potential of the artwork to engage and activity audiences, an aim which was set out in my Project Proposal. So I have decided to submit a proposal to run a session as outlined below. I think this would be a great opportunity to exhibit and contextualise my work and also to collaborate with CT colleagues/research student, so I hope it gets accepted: “This is a dark time, filled with suffering and uncertainty. Like living cells in a larger body, it is natural that we feel the trauma of our world. So don’t be afraid of the anguish you feel, or the anger or fear, because these responses arise from the depth of your caring and the truth of your interconnectedness with all beings” (Macy and Gahbler , 2006, p.105).

The range of creative practice was incredible and I  really  enjoyed the way much of it could not be defined using conventional art terms such  as  panting,  printing, and sculpture, fluid and inclusive practices. I was very inspired by the range and quality of work, the associated artists' websites and the work we purchased. As I prepare to exhibit and perhaps sell my work, my challenge will be in the setting out and finishing of books using In Design, Illustrator etc. to create polished and professional-looking final products, so I have signed-up to Adobe classes in the autumn, a little late for the MA but part of the same developmental trajectory. Also, the UWE Book Arts newsletter is going to be a very useful reference for me to identify conferences and events, it's time to get my work out there. Fig...

#IIC AHRA Situated Ecologies Conference Zine, 2023 DRAFT

 The zine-making workshop with Ceri Amphlett  was very inspiring and I enjoyed seeing examples of her work and learning about the potential of the zine as a very immediate and direct form of communication. I have since led my own zine workshop with MA students who used is it as part of their climate action activism, the success of this has given me the confidence to respond to a call for sessions from the Architectural Humanities Research Association around the theme of 'Situated Ecologies': Zines have a long history associated with campaigning, sharing information, telling the stories of marginalised groups and activism; they have been designed to circumvent mainstream media and institutions and to democratise political messaging. There is now a renewed interest in the relevance of the zine as a counterpoint to on-line information that is controlled and censored by social media platforms and news conglomerates: contemporary zine makers use the medium for activism - a medium e...
