Project Night is a bi-monthly meet-up offering a supportive network to creatives and artists working in and with communities. Come along to get supportive feedback on your projects, test and share ideas, chat with other creatives and get inspired.
We are open for Project Night to evolve and become what people want and need it to be. If you would like to know more or have ideas for how Project Night could evolve, please contact martha.king@kwmc.org.uk.
To be added to our mailing list, email ella.chedburn@kwmc.org.uk. Keep an eye on the events page for more information.
“a really great space was created for supporting each other and sparking new ideas / collaborations”
“this has been amazing. I’m potentially going to work with someone that I wouldn’t have ever had the opportunity to meet unless it was for this night”
Since July 2019, we have been meeting to share a range of projects; from music making and caravan performances to intimate poetry groups and walking projects. During the COVID19 lockdowns, we experimented with meeting virtually. Here are some of the discussions we had:
‘Making work after lockdown‘ with Knowle West Media Centre producers
‘Staying connected with communities’ with Kim Wide from Take A Part.
‘Creative ways to use digital tools‘ with Lily Green from No Bindings.
‘Self care and community wellbeing’ with dance maker Laila Diallo.
In 2021, we hosted our first hybrid (virtual and in-person) meet-up with special guests Anagram inspiring us with a multi-sensory interactive audio experience.
Project Night has also inspired new projects. KWMC’s ‘Creativity and Care‘ grew out of learnings from previous Project Nights, creating a new programme that explores the themes of radical care and pleasure activism.
This event is part of the National Social Art Network: www.socialartnetwork.org
