Design Innovation & Cultural Resonances (Resonance): Place based Collaboration

“共鸣”计划将透过一系列富有成效的民间交流，将创意经济实践者和创意及文化机构聚集在一起，重点是收集、扩大和分享细微的本地知识和文化资产，为决策和社区发展计划提供信息。这将促进创新能力、能力和基于地方的合作的发展，从而在区域范围内产生更广泛的社会文化和经济影响。共振将专注于项目合作伙伴、利益相关者、社区、从业者和相关治理结构的文化知识，为决策提供信息，从而在不易进入大学或研究和创新资产的地区产生当地影响。该项目将由GSA创新学院领导，Lynn-Sayers McHattie教授担任首席研究员，Steve Love教授和Michael Johnson博士担任联合研究员。贝尔法斯特艺术学院艺术与设计研究主任Brian Dixon博士将作为专家研究员加入该团队，Zoe Prosser将担任项目助理。Lynn在指导和交付UKRI方面有丰富的经验，包括AHRC资助投标，并将通过其每个关键阶段指导研究的进展。项目合作伙伴：设得兰艺术发展局；“空中的，桑奎尔；以及北爱尔兰的北唐自治市议会，此外还与苏格兰政府的岛屿计划直接相连。它将侧重于创意和文化经济中的知识交流，并着眼于以证据为基础的研究，为当地的再生和发展计划做出贡献。设得兰群岛和桑夸尔的两种环境及其谨慎的文化、遗产和地理属性为每个社区都融入更广泛的调查中，开辟了新的影响途径的潜力。北爱尔兰唐郡（Ards）和北唐郡（North Down）在扩大这两项先前的合作时，将重点关注协调的公民对话的可转移性，以此作为形成富有成效的、基于地方的合作的一种手段。在整个过程中，共振将通过对与地点、景观和工艺相关的文化资产的探索和衔接，对所涉及的社区产生直接影响。该项目的一项重要成果将是一个文化资产框架，该框架阐明了基于地的文化资产，以促进包容性增长、可持续创新和平等；为联合国可持续发展目标（https://sdgs.un.org/goals）提供宝贵的见解，特别是可持续发展目标10（减少不平等）、可持续发展目标5（性别平等）、可持续发展目标11（可持续城市和社区）。共振将持续12个月（2022年1月至2022年1月），并通过三个不同的、相互关联的阶段进行：范围和规划；讲座系列及市民交流；评价和传播。公民交流将允许每个社区通过更新、可持续性和社区未来的视角来探索有关地点、景观和文化资产的问题。民间交流也将促进当地对文化遗产表达方式和方法的了解，并有助于社区战略和发展计划。在后一个方面，将注意地方和区域之间的区别，以及可以在多大程度上进行族群间比较，以及是否有可能扩大到全国范围。“共鸣”项目将以文化资产框架的设计和2022年10月的最终研讨会结束，该研讨会将同时在更广泛的网络中汇集和传播见解和发现，合作伙伴有机会共同评估和追踪“共鸣”在社区和更广泛的公众中产生的影响。

Resonance will draw together creative economy practitioners and creative and cultural organisations in a series of productive civic exchanges centred upon the capturing, amplification and sharing of nuanced local knowledge and cultural assets to inform decision-making and community development plans. This will enable the development of innovation capability, capacity and place-based collaborations allowing for wider socio-cultural and economic impacts at a regional scale. Resonance will focus on the cultural knowledge of project partners, stakeholders, communities, practitioners and the attendant governance structures, to inform decision-making thus delivering local impacts in areas with no easy access to universities or research and innovation assets. Resonance will be led by GSA's Innovation School, with Professor Lynn-Sayers McHattie as Principal Investigator with Professor Steve Love and Dr Michael Johnson as Co-Investigators. Dr Brian Dixon, Research Director of Art and Design at the Belfast School of Art will join the team as a specialist researcher and Zoe Prosser as Project Assistant. Lynn has extensive experience of directing and delivering UKRI, including AHRC funding bids, and will guide the progression of the research through each of its key phases. Resonance has been conceived and shaped in collaboration with project partners: Shetland Arts Development Agency; A' the Airts, Sanquhar; and North Down Borough Council in N. Ireland, in addition to connecting directly with the Scottish Governments Island Plan. It will focus on knowledge exchange within the creative and cultural economy with a longer-term view for evidence-based research to contribute to local regeneration and development plans. The two contexts of Shetland and Sanquhar and their discreet cultural, heritage and geographic attributes opens up the potential for new pathways to impact as each community is enmeshed within the wider inquiry. In scaling these two prior engagements, County Down, N. Ireland - Ards and North Down - will focus on the transferability of coordinated civic dialogues as a means of shaping productive, place-based collaborations. Throughout, Resonance will foreground direct impact for the communities involved through both the exploration and articulation of cultural assets related to place, landscape and craft. A key output of the project will be a Cultural Assets Framework that articulates place-based cultural assets towards advancing inclusive growth, sustainable innovation and equality; providing valuable insights that contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals), specifically SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 5 (Gender Equalities), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Resonance will take place over the course of 12 months (January 2022-23) and progress through three distinct, interrelating phases: scoping and planning; speaker's series and civic exchanges; evaluation and dissemination. The civic exchanges will allow each respective community to explore issues around place, landscape and cultural assets through the lenses of renewal, sustainability and the future of communities. The civic exchanges will also facilitate local knowledge around the ways and means by which cultural heritage can be articulated and contribute to community strategies and development plans. In this latter aspect, attention will be paid to the distinction between the local and the regional, and the extent to which intercommunal comparisons may be drawn, as well as whether it is possible to scale up to a national perspective. The Resonance programme will conclude with the design of the Cultural Assets Framework and a Final Symposium in October 2022, which will simultaneously draw together and disseminate the insights and findings amongst the wider network(s), with the opportunity for partners to co-evaluate and trace the impact Resonance has had within communities and wider publics.
