British Muslim experiences and engagement in Culture and Arts: the potential of 'religious literacy' in public programming, audience development and

这个由AHRC资助的博士学位，是第一个考虑当代信仰及其在主要公共艺术和文化机构中的定位方式的博士学位之一，旨在开启关于“宗教素养”在主要公共文化机构中建立新受众和节目方式的潜力的对话。它将质疑这些机构是否是有意识或无意识的“世俗空间”，以及谁、什么思想和辩论被排除在外。它将评估像泰特这样的机构在考虑与当代信仰团体进行对话时所能发挥的作用，以及在这种交流中可以找到哪些新的艺术风险方法。本次CDP将通过与泰特合作的人从英国穆斯林经验的角度来看待这一点，以及泰特如何在其雕刻公共空间的制度框架中考虑这些经验，旨在引领“艺术冒险和文化包容”。宗教和信仰，无论地位如何，在许多个人和社区认同感的概念中，其重要性是不可否认的，因此，令人惊讶的是，艺术和文化领域的对话，特别是学术对话，忽视了我们主要公共机构如何考虑当代信仰社区的对话。我希望这项研究能继续创造基础对话，探讨我们的公共文化机构如何考虑并与宗教和信仰团体建立联系，并为规划和艺术风险带来新的可能性，以及成为所有人的公共空间意味着什么。

This AHRC funded doctorate, one of the first to consider contemporary faith and the way it is positioned by major public art and cultural institutions, aims to open the dialogue on the potential of 'religious literacy' in building new audiences and ways of programming in a major public cultural institution. It will question whether these institutions are consciously or unconsciously 'secular spaces' and who and what ideas and debates are excluded as a result. It will evaluate the role an institution such as Tate, can play in considering dialogues on engaging with contemporary faith communities, and what new approaches to artistic risk can be found in this exchange.This CDP will look at this through the perspective of British Muslim experience/s, by those engaging with Tate but also how Tate considers these experiences in its institutional framework of sculpting a public space that aims to lead on being 'artistically adventurous and culturally inclusive'. Religion and faith, regardless of position, is undeniable in its importance in the concept of many individuals and communities sense of identity, so it is striking that the dialogue, particularly academic dialogue, within arts and culture has neglected conversations on how contemporary faith communities can be considered by our major public institutions. I hope this research continues to create foundational dialogues on how our public cultural institutions can consider and connect with religion and faith communities and bring new possibilities to programming and artistic risk and what it means to be a public space for all.
