WeSTART Online Meetup
Community Gathering Session: Review / Rewind 2020
Online
On 9th February, we will be hosting a session that will explore how the past year has impacted artists, their practice, work and collaborations. During this WeSTART session, we would like to invite the S+T+ARTS community for an online meet-up and exchange of ideas. We will invite a number of you to present your work/a project/a partnership that has emerged during the last year and to participate in a conversation about the impacts of lockdown economically, personally and artistically.
Please get in touch with us to let us know if you would like to present on the day and we can make arrangements with you.
Please email Lucy Bunnell (lbunnell@uca.ac.uk) by February 5th to register your interest.
ABOUT WeSTART
Since its beginning, the S+T+ARTS programme has been exploring how the combination of arts, science and technology can help us to create a better, more sustainable future. The current crisis and the need for new sustainable solutions amplifies the importance of S+T+ARTS as never before. As a response to the COVID crisis we started the first WeSTART sessions in spring 2020. Now it is time for new season that promises to unveil more about the impact of S+T+ARTS and contribute to strengthen and support its growing community. Alongside the best S+T+ARTS projects and cutting-edge speakers, the upcoming programme also wants to provide a place for our community to network and discuss.
Reflecting this, we introduce two formats of monthly online talks and conversations:
– FOCUS ON: the “Focus On” sessions features some of the best speakers and S+T+ARTS projects, aimed at showing the impact of S+T+ARTS in diverse domains of society.
– COMMUNITY GATHERING: during the monthly “Community Gathering” sessions we invite our registered community members to join us for an open and informal discussion. This is the place where we like to share thoughts, practice new forms of collective thinking and provide a platform for creating new inspiring connections.
