Artists Lab 2012
The Encounters Lab took place monthly during 2012 and was focused on exploring the messy moments and fertile edges of socio-ecological engaged practice. The Labs were an opportunity to hone ideas and try out new ones alongside other practitioners.
They were open to artists, facilitators, educators, activists and others involved in socio-ecological engaged practice.
We were interested in ‘those moments’ where the deepest dreaming meets the profoundly ordinary, where conflict glimmers with potential for insight, where something faint is noticed and deserves some good attention. All this towards radical culture change for a more interconnected and sustainable world.
The Encounters Labs created an opportunity to explore work and ideas that participants wanted to experiment with.
It was a space to ask questions:
What do you really feel called to offer as artist and practitioner at this moment in time?
What are the sticky questions you want to share with others: about your own work, the world or the nature of change?
The Encounters Lab was facilitated by Encounters Creative Director Ruth Ben-Tovim and Creative Associate Toni Spencer.
