项目摘要

This project draws on research from a project called 'Language as Talisman' that exploredhow everyday language can be offer opportunities for creative expression. The team iscomposed of PI Pahl and poet Gloria Kiconco, based in Kampala, Uganda. Kiconco is apublished poet and zine maker who has previously run zine workshops for women. Togetherwith artist Charity Atukunda she will work with two organisations to create zine-makingworkshops. Each workshop will last for 4 days. There will be three workshops in total, two inpartnership with the organisations and one in order to prepare for the exhibition. Theresulting zines will be displayed in a travelling library, originating in Kampala anddisseminated via the African Poetry Fund to a library in Mombasa, and poetry librarynetworks in the UK via the newly created Manchester Poetry Library.The organisation, 'StrongMinds' argues on its website that depression is one of the mostserious challenges facing African women. Women suffering from depression have very littlesupport (https://strongminds.org/the-need/). Life is particularly hard for those on the marginsand women and girls face challenges if they are considered 'outsiders' in any sense of theword. This project draws on the idea of the zine, as a form that can be adapted andautonomously used by individuals to express themselves. Zines can be about anything; inthis project they will combine poetry and art to be formed in workshops with skilledfacilitators Kiconco and Atukunda. Equipping women with life writing and expression skills isa key part of this project. Drawing Artvism's vision that women in particular need writingskills to equip them in life, the project will place creation and autonomy at the heart of itsvision. Our vision is to do that in collaboration with these organisations dedicated tosupporting women.The project team includes an evaluator, Lisa Damon, who has experience of working withrefugee groups as a researcher, and is currently a doctoral student at the University ofMakerere. Gloria Kiconco is the lead in Kampala. She is a published poet, who works closelywith arts organisations to realise her zines, which are a mix of poetry and art. She haspreviously been part of the AHRC funded project on New Enhancements to Enhance Artists'Livelihood in East Africa (PI Andrew Burton). Charity Atukunda is a visual artist who workedwith PI Pahl on the AHRC funded 'Belonging and Learning' project, which worked with youngrefugees in Kampala to create art that would directly speak to policy-makers. The team willbe led by PI Pahl, drawing on her experience of co-production, and includes Co-InvestigatorSu Corcoran, who has developed strong links with organisations within Kampala through the'Belonging and Learning' project, and researcher McMillan, a poet, and Kratz, who isworking in the field of poetry libraries. The project will create a new travelling library of zinesthat speak to express the creativity of women through poetry and art.

该项目借鉴了一个名为“语言作为护身符”的项目的研究，该项目探索了日常语言如何为创造性表达提供机会。该团队由PI Pahl和诗人格洛丽亚Kiconco组成，总部设在乌干达的坎帕拉。Kiconco是一个出版诗人和锌制造商谁以前运行锌车间的妇女。她将与艺术家Charity Atukunda一起，与两个组织合作创建制锌车间。每个工作坊为期4天。共有三个工作坊，两个与组织合作，一个为展览做准备。这些杂志将在一个流动图书馆展出，该图书馆来自坎帕拉，通过非洲诗歌基金会传播到蒙巴萨的一个图书馆，并通过新成立的曼彻斯特诗歌图书馆传播到英国的诗歌图书馆网络。该组织“坚强的心灵”在其网站上声称抑郁症是非洲妇女面临的最严重的挑战之一。患有抑郁症的妇女很少得到支持（https：//strongminds.org/the-need/）。对于那些处于边缘地位的人来说，生活尤其艰难，如果妇女和女孩被认为是任何意义上的“局外人”，她们就会面临挑战。这个项目借鉴了杂志的理念，作为一种可以被个人适应和自主使用的形式来表达自己。Zines可以是任何东西;在这个项目中，他们将联合收割机诗歌和艺术结合起来，在熟练的协调员Kiconco和Atukunda的工作坊中形成。让妇女掌握生活写作和表达技能伊萨该项目的关键部分。艺术主义的愿景是女性尤其需要写作技能来装备她们的生活，该项目将把创造和自主权置于其愿景的核心。我们的愿景是与这些致力于支持妇女的组织合作。该项目团队包括一名评估员丽莎达蒙，她作为研究人员有与难民团体合作的经验，目前是马凯雷雷大学的博士生。格洛丽亚基康科是坎帕拉的主角。她是一位出版的诗人，与艺术组织密切合作，以实现她的zines，这是诗歌和艺术的混合。她以前是AHRC资助的项目的一部分，新的增强，以提高艺术家的生活在东非（PI安德鲁伯顿）。慈善Atukunda是一个视觉艺术家谁与PI Pahl在AHRC资助的“归属和学习”项目，该项目与在坎帕拉，创造艺术，将直接发言的政策制定者。该团队将由PI Pahl领导，利用她的合作制作经验，并包括联合调查员Su Corcoran，他通过“归属与学习”项目与坎帕拉内的组织建立了密切的联系，研究员McMillan，诗人和Kratz，他在诗歌图书馆领域工作。该项目将建立一个新的流动杂志图书馆，通过诗歌和艺术来表达妇女的创造力。
