Join Fast Familiar for this online workshop exploring art experiences that facilitate collective decision making, with audiences in digital spaces. How can these spaces be used for shared decision making involving ethical considerations?
This workshop will consider what is needed for this type of facilitation and what tools technology can provide. Attendees will work in small groups to devise and share practical ideas and solutions that support the facilitation of this work.
Fast Familiar are an interdisciplinary collaboration comprising expertise in theatre, facilitation and creative computing. They make artworks which are participatory, playful and political. For them, art is a space to explore questions which are too complex for daily life – and a space where we can rehearse better outcomes for a world where no decision of significance is taken by an isolated individual.
The knowledge generated during this workshop will culminate in a resource for arts organisations and artists to reflect on in their own approaches and practices.

Please bring whichever materials you feel comfortable working with, from some charcoal to a biro, a small sketch pad to A3 sheets of paper. There will be a limited amount of drawing boards and materials available on a first come first serve basis.
This session is a chilled out place to have a go if you haven’t drawn before and also a perfect opportunity for the more experienced artists to practise. You are encouraged to come from 6:15pm to chat and find a place. There is a 20 minute break in the middle to finish off the fromage and get your complimentary glass of wine. To make our model feel as comfortable as possible we would ask you to follow standard life drawing etiquette and talk quietly.

This special edition has been developed by FACT’s Learning Team with researcher and visual artist, Youngsook Choi, to explore the formation of families, community and kinship.
Together with the artist, they will make alternative family trees. A family tree usually shows the roots of our family history, made up of the names of our family members in a chronological order. Instead of focusing on marital names to show who our relatives are, this workshop explores the meaning of ‘family’ and ‘belonging’ by sharing stories and memories which will form the elements of a beautiful family mobile to take home.
All young people are welcome with their accompanying guardians/parents. Some of the more technical activities are suited for ages 7 up to 13. There will be craft-based activities available for under 7 years old, so the whole family can come along.
This event is part of the Lunar New Year Weekend at FACT. Discover their full programme of events.
