Stories from the Well-field: A Continued Professional Development opportunity for artists working in care settings

A CPD session for artists interested in facilitating cross-artform participatory projects in care settings for older people is taking place at the Glucksman on Tuesday 8 October. Stories from the Well-field is presented by artist Tess Leak, puppeteer Eoin Lynch, activities co-ordinator Sarah Cairns and composer Justin Grounds, drawing on their experience of developing an interactive performance with a group of residents at St Joseph’s Ward, Bantry General Hospital.

During this workshop in The Glucksman, the artist-collective and St. Joseph’s activities co-ordinator Sarah Cairns will encourage participants to join them in re-creating the show, sharing how “the way the show was created, accessible to all our cognitive differences, meant that nothing more was required of us, only our unique selves”

This project was supported by an Arts Council of Ireland Arts Participation Project Award, the 2018 artsandhealth.ie Documentation Bursary and is part of the Arts for Health Partnership Programme, West Cork. For more information on the programme visit www.artsforhealthwestcork.com

Exhibition

Change the Beat! An exhibition by young asylum seekers, refugees and migrants on display at the Glucksman and venues across Cork city

Change the Beat! is an exhibition supported by the Arts Council of Ireland that showcases artworks created by teenage asylum seekers, refugees and migrants from Cork city and county.

The teenagers were invited to explore their relationship to music through creative activities at the Glucksman, developing a greater understanding of their own musical habits and how the music they listen to represents who they are and who they hope to become. Drawing inspiration from album artwork, mixtapes and the DIY culture of zines, the group of 27 participating teenagers, aged between 13-18 years, created risograph prints under the guidance of artist Shane O’Driscoll.
The artworks are exhibited at The Glucksman; Badly Made Books; Cork Flower Studio; Cork Opera House; Gate Cinema; Pink Moon café; Plugd Records; and Nano Nagle Place.

We hope that you will discover the artworks across the city during the month of October.
