项目摘要

This network bid builds on a series of meetings at which artists, members of publicly funded Arts institutions, and academics specialising in youth and community work, came together through a shared concern with the persistent inequality in arts participation in England and Wales. Many marginalised groups especially those who also live in poverty are at risk of social isolation, substance misuse, self-harm and civic disengagement. Evidence that involvement in the Arts and arts-based activities can play a positive role in ameliorating these risks has accrued over the past 15 years. Yet, research shows that it is marginalised groups who do not sustain their involvement or benefit from long-term experiences of Arts to enhance their lives. Our meetings led us to ask the question, 'Why, given that participation in Arts has come to be framed increasingly within inclusion agendas, do these often play out in practice, unintentionally, in exclusionary ways?' The network set out to explore what more arts organisations and artists can achieve by attuning to the needs and knowledge of marginalised groups through a multidisciplinary lens. Hitherto, debates about specific approaches to widening participation in the Arts have taken place within fields that have developed independently of each other. For example, the fields of youth and community work draw on arts-based practice to empower marginalised groups, and have developed skills for befriending and working with groups who find themselves on the periphery of society. However, while the Arts disciplines strive to democratise access to the Arts, yet consultations with participants who work in publicly funded Arts organisations, such as national theatres, museums, galleries and arts centres revealed considerable concern about the uneven social participation in the Arts. Lectures on creative media courses in Further Education colleges often teach marginalised young people. While the disciplines of the Arts and the fields of community and youth work have developed independently of each other, there is enormous potential to share different perspectives to understand this complex problem which requires both critical debate and the inclusion of multiple viewpoints.In response, we will create a network to facilitate boundary crossings between hitherto siloed fields that have different approaches and purposes in relation to the Arts. Through a series of regional multidisciplinary, multiagency BarCamp (N=5) style exchange spaces, stakeholders from Arts disciplines as well as those who work in publicly funded theatres, museums, galleries and art centres will come together with academics and practitioners from the fields of community and youth work to critically debate issues such as participation, democracy, enterprise, trust, street work and festivals. Two BarCamps will be hosted by a youth centre and a community centre enabling marginal groups to lead activities. Events will be designed to enable a multiplicity of perspectives through processes of making, attuning, listening and debating. Collectively, we aim to develop new ways to imagine and understand how marginalisation takes place in often-imperceptible ways, and to forge new ways of working that draw on the strengths and creative resources of marginalised groups. A website will enable insights to be gathered incrementally across the BarCamp events and shared publicly. The long terms objective is to create guidance for Arts organisations who are grappling with the Culture White Paper's (CM 9218) expectation for the first time that all museums, theatres, galleries, opera houses or arts groups that receive government money "should reach out to everyone, regardless of their background". The challenge here is to develop new models for effective partnerships that can be adapted in specific local communities based on the values implied, rather than through performative acts such as counting numbers through the door.

该网络竞标建立在一系列会议的基础上，在这些会议上，艺术家，公共资助的艺术机构成员以及专门从事青年和社区工作的学者通过共同关注英格兰和威尔士艺术参与的持续不平等而走到一起。许多被边缘化的群体，特别是那些生活在贫困中的群体，面临着社会孤立、滥用药物、自我伤害和公民脱离的风险。在过去的15年里，有证据表明，参与艺术和以艺术为基础的活动可以在减轻这些风险方面发挥积极作用。然而，研究表明，正是边缘化群体没有持续参与或从长期的艺术体验中受益，以改善他们的生活。我们的会议让我们问这样一个问题：“既然艺术的参与越来越多地被纳入包容性议程，为什么在实践中，这些参与往往会无意中以排斥的方式发挥作用？”“该网络着手探索更多的艺术组织和艺术家可以通过多学科的透镜来适应边缘化群体的需求和知识。目前，关于扩大艺术参与的具体方法的辩论已经在相互独立发展的领域内进行。例如，青年和社区工作领域利用基于艺术的实践来增强边缘化群体的能力，并开发了与处于社会边缘的群体建立友谊和合作的技能。然而，虽然艺术学科努力使艺术的获得民主化，但与在公共资助的艺术组织，如国家剧院，博物馆，画廊和艺术中心工作的参与者进行的协商显示，对艺术的社会参与不平衡相当关注。继续教育学院的创意媒体课程讲座经常教授边缘化的年轻人。虽然艺术学科和社区及青年工作领域是相互独立发展的，但在理解这一需要批判性辩论和包容多种观点的复杂问题时，分享不同的观点有着巨大的潜力。作为回应，我们将创建一个网络，以促进迄今为止与艺术有关的具有不同方法和目的的孤立领域之间的边界跨越。通过一系列区域多学科，多机构BarCamp（N=5）风格的交流空间，来自艺术学科的利益相关者以及那些在公共资助的剧院，博物馆，画廊和艺术中心工作的人将与社区和青年工作领域的学者和从业者一起批判性地辩论参与，民主，企业，信任，街头工作和节日等问题。两个BarCamp将由一个青年中心和一个社区中心主办，使边缘群体能够领导活动。活动的设计将通过制作、协调、倾听和辩论的过程实现多种观点。总的来说，我们的目标是开发新的方法来想象和理解边缘化是如何以通常难以察觉的方式发生的，并建立新的工作方式，利用边缘化群体的优势和创造性资源。一个网站将使人们能够在BarCamp活动中逐步收集见解并公开分享。长期目标是为那些正在努力应对文化白色文件（CM 9218）首次提出的所有博物馆、剧院、画廊、歌剧院或接受政府资助的艺术团体“应该接触所有人，无论他们的背景如何”的艺术组织提供指导。这方面的挑战是，根据所隐含的价值观，而不是通过诸如进门数数之类的表演行为，为有效的伙伴关系制定新的模式，使之适用于具体的地方社区。
