doing together 24

 

Thursday 4 and Friday 5 April 2024

doing together is a yearly two-day making and sharing practice symposium at Locksbrook Campus, hosted by the Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries in collaboration with Bath School of Art, Film and Media and Bath School of Music and Performing Arts.

Workshops, delivered by staff and postgraduate students from across the University, share practice-based research methods and a broad range of approaches to practice. doing together is proposed as a generous space to make/do/share and discuss practice with colleagues from a range of different Schools.

Throughout the symposium, facilitators – alongside participants – test out ways of doing together in an effort to make their practice-based research explicit, rather than simply describe it.

doing together 24 was concluded with a plenary session delivered by Dr Lauren Redhead (Reader in 20th and 21st Century Music at Goldsmiths) who shared her thoughts & findings from the symposium.

Further, for doing together 24, the Michael Pennie Gallery was proposed as an active site: facilitators and participants were invited to share works, provocations, and reflections that will be installed in the gallery over the two days, tracing the symposium’s happenings - culminating in an exhibition displayed for a week following the event.
