项目摘要

This project is an exploration of community practices that work with people in disconnected spaces, to create new connectivity, and capacity for change. Taking a lead from partners and perspectives within Latin America, this project brings together praxis-focussed artists, activists and academics from Brazil, Mexico and the UK, in a series of exploratory encounters (both face-to-face and virtual) that will investigate methods and processes for this work. Concentrating on understanding work in local community settings the focus of this collaborative investigation will be the ways in which such practitioners work with communal space, and specifically how these spaces become potentised, and how these practitioners can open up spaces with a qualities of what Victor Turner termed 'potency' and transformative potential, or 'potentiality' (1979: 465-6). These encounters of enquiry will enable practical approaches to interrogate, and be interrogated by, theoretical perspectives, brought to the discussion by artists, activists and academics from Latin America and the UK. Our intention is to create conduits for these influences and perspectives, and to enable knowledge exchange on three axes: between community artists and community activists, between academia and non-academic communities of practice, and between perspectives and experience of the global south (Brazil and Mexico) and global north (UK). Participants in the project will seek to co-produce knowledge and practice-based methodologies, informing the praxis of socially-engaged artists and activists, and to inform theoretical understandings of academics in the fields of social theory, activism and applied creative practice. Deliberately aiming to disrupt traditional dynamics of North/South knowledge exchange the project will connect artist/activist communities from the Global South with peer communities from the Global North, introducing the fundamental value of building on the strengths from both geographies of creativity and activism, and particularly challenging linguistic exclusion and established dominance by knowledges from the Global North. These modes of engagement will contribute significantly to the CC programme as the literature suggests (Miura and Sawaia, 2013) 'Southern' thinkers are often highly attuned and advanced in their treatment of ideas of connection, disconnection, community and creativity (refs): themes at the core of Connected Communities scholarship.Our 6 collaborating communities will connect by working together in intensive residential 'encounters' ('encuentros') in Brazil and the UK, using inclusive and non-hierarchical encounter processes that mirror the kinds of developmental workshops at the heart of the study. They will experience and interrogate each others' spatial-affective practices and ideas, from their respective fields of community arts and activism which overlap, but do not necessarily share recognised common languages or identities. The aim through these encounters is for the participating communities to co-create conditions that develop enriched understandings of their own work, that locate meaningful connections and comparisons for future mutual learning, and that inspire and motivate them to develop and continue these connections. The ultimate aim of the project, reaching beyond the lifetime of this award, is to develop an inclusive, interdisciplinary, international, arts/activism 'community (communities) of practice', in which fostering the creative potency and potential of spaces of activity is a key and conscious practice element.

这个项目是对社区实践的探索，这些实践与人们在互不相连的空间中合作，创造新的连接，并具有变革的能力。该项目从拉丁美洲的合作伙伴和视角出发，汇集了来自巴西、墨西哥和英国的以实践为重点的艺术家、活动家和学者，进行了一系列探索性接触(面对面和虚拟的)，将调查这项工作的方法和过程。将重点放在理解当地社区环境中的工作上，这项合作调查的重点将是这些从业者如何与公共空间合作，特别是这些空间是如何被增强的，以及这些从业者如何以维克托·特纳所说的‘潜力’和变革潜力或‘潜力’来开辟空间(1979：465-6)。这些调查的相遇将使人们能够用实际的方法来审问，并被来自拉丁美洲和英国的艺术家、活动家和学者带到讨论中的理论观点所质问。我们的目的是为这些影响和观点建立渠道，并在三个轴线上实现知识交流：社区艺术家和社区活动家之间，学术界和非学术实践社区之间，以及全球南部(巴西和墨西哥)和全球北部(英国)的观点和经验之间。该项目的参与者将寻求共同制作以知识和实践为基础的方法，向参与社会的艺术家和活动家的实践提供信息，并向学术界在社会理论、行动主义和应用创造性实践领域的理论理解提供信息。该项目旨在故意破坏南北知识交流的传统动态，将来自全球南方的艺术家/活动家社区与来自全球北方的同行社区联系起来，引入建立在创造力和激进主义地理优势基础上的基本价值，特别是挑战来自全球北方的知识对语言的排斥和既定的主导地位。这些参与模式将对CC计划做出重大贡献，正如文献所表明的(Miura和Sawaia，2013)“南方”思想家在处理连接、断开、社区和创造力(参考文献)的想法方面往往非常协调和先进：互联社区学术的核心主题。我们的6个合作社区将通过在巴西和英国的密集住宅“接触”(“EncuEnds”)中共同工作来联系起来，使用包容性和非等级接触过程，反映了研究核心的发展研讨会的类型。他们将体验和询问彼此的空间情感实践和想法，来自他们各自的社区艺术和激进主义领域，这些领域重叠，但不一定有公认的共同语言或身份。通过这些接触，目的是让参与社区共同创造条件，加深对自己工作的理解，为未来的相互学习找到有意义的联系和比较，并激励和激励他们发展和继续这些联系。该项目的最终目标是建立一个包容的、跨学科的、国际化的、艺术/激进主义的“实践社区(社区)”，其中培养活动空间的创造潜力和潜力是一个关键的和有意识的实践要素。参考文献：Miura，P.和Sawaia，B.B.(2013)《龙卷风：Sofrimentoético-Politico e Potencia de ação‘Psicologia e Social’v.25，第313-318页，Turner，V(1979)，《框架、流动和反思：作为公共临界性的仪式和戏剧》，《日本宗教研究杂志》，第6(4)，465-99页。
