With For About is Heart of Glass’ annual gathering discussing socially engaged practice. This year we explores how we can come together when words are not enough.
With For About 2024 explores how we can come together when words are not enough, and is concerned with themes including: collaboration, communication, language, silence, rupture, crisis, heartbreak, radical friendship, safe space, solidarity.
As different crises impact our lives, the ways we communicate have become increasingly challenging. For this year’s gathering we aim to find new ways of relating and reimagining the world through:
– Alternative communication methods with and beyond verbal English
– Expression, constructive argument and holding space for difference
– ‘How to be together’ and ‘how to be’ in the future
We invite artists, practitioners and arts, community and youth workers who value empathy, listening, and expression. The event will feature workshops, discussions and performances led by practitioners of socially engaged arts, youth work, feminist organising, and climate justice including: Susanne Bosch, Taey Iohe, Sophie Mak-Schram, Dannielle Mc Kenna, Ailbhe Smyth and Kate O’Shea.
