A creative weekender at Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre all about failure, sharing secrets and learning from our own (and each others’) mistakes, hosted by Heart of Glass in collaboration with Short Supply.
On Friday, we begin with workshop Reading for the Restless; an opportunity to read and discuss Jack Halberstam’s The Queer Art of Failure, thinking through how we might apply this to our own lives, work and practice.
On Saturday, Short Supply, and invited speakers will lead a day of talks about what goes wrong in the art world, what’s going right and what could be better. Speakers TBA.
This weekend of discussion and workshops is designed for artists, cultural practitioners, facilitators, and youth and education workers. The programme (Reading for the Restless and The Art World is… Dead) are free and include food. If you’d like to stay overnight at BOARC, accommodation is £10 / night – make sure you choose the overnight option when booking your ticket.
