Have a bad feeling of being overwhelmed? Yes, this is an attic find made by me. I even don't remember what I wanted to knit. 😅

I need weeks to embroider a simple image. Then came a project of #participatoryArt. We were 20 women. And I learnt what many hands united can achieve, even in politics! It became a source of #happiness! ▶️ https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/f4d867f5-4e6e-408d-b31b-5a3d1fb5f170

In today's episode of Common Practice Sophie Hope talks to 4 people connected to the MA degree course in Art and Social Practice at the University of the Highlands and Islands.

UHI is “the only university based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and [they say] we’re a little different”.

Sophie talks with Roxane Permarr; Siún Carden; Nicola Naismith; and Mara Marxt Lewis.

Interesting conversation ensues!

There's bursary places available for the Art & Social Work conference at South London Gallery next month, be great to see you there!

Me and Naz Hoque will be reviewing our creative work with young people via the Youth Offending Service (supported by New Town Culture), taking a critical lens to our practice but also sharing the joys!

Thank you for the warm welcome to the fediverse!

For those interested in #socialpractice #communityart, I have a monthly podcast as part of @OwenKelly 's excellent series Meanwhile in an Abandoned Warehouse. My contribution asks artists about the role of listening in their practice.

Today's epsiode features Lady Kitt, a disabled artist and drag king, who describes their work as 'Mess Making as Social Glue'.

A little edited clip of the blender first in action. Mixing fruits, ideas, and people- it's designed to blend in a #craft context! Blown glass with hacked blender and silicone. I'm dressed for the Farmer Fashionista auction party theme.
What a fun time, this worked so well, that I am eager to make another with new people, a louder motor, bigger blades and blinky neon that adds to the blendy commotion and #party atmosphere.
