Open Invitation - Arts & Heritage in the Public Realm Strategy

[Chris Keady]

Hello all,

Delighted to share the below invitation from Sue Ball and Ian Banks -

Dear Derby Makers,

Arts & Heritage in the Public Realm Strategy – Coproduction and Walk & Talk Events

Are you free to meet next Wednesday 7^th September, 6.15-7.00pm to share ideas?

To develop design thinking and a Strategy and Action Plan for the Silk Mills’ public spaces through arts and heritage, Hannah and the team have commissioned Ian Banks and myself within a development phase completing in January 2017. 

We are proposing to run an initial programme of collaborative Walks and Talks as three events led by different artists. Through art intervention and creative dialogue, their purpose will be to consider what is public space in the context of the Silk Mill and map diverse sets of ideas, interests and stories.  These will be part of an iterative process of design creating new places for creative encounter and a re-visioned building and public realm.

Keeping true to the ethos of co-production and wanting to ensure that the Derby Makers, user groups and other stakeholders are part of the collaborative process, I would like to meet you next Wednesday 7^th Sept during your session.  We would like to have your input on how these events could work in ways that could be useful for you as individuals and collective, and to inform the Strategy and longer term programme of public art within the Silk Mill.

I hope that you can make this when we can discuss the programme and share ideas.

Very best,

Sue Ball and Ian Banks
