Acting as vital catalysts for collaboration, collected agency and future making, they reinforce not only their direct communities but our places, creative ecosystems, economy and society.Beyond rippling benefits for people and place, creative networks can challenge the existing systems that limit and separate us – rebuilding them through alternative influence, visibility, equitable practice and infrastructures of care.Tending To/gether is a one-day participatory forum, gathering creative network builders and those interested in collective ways of working to spotlight impact, exchange knowledge and platform the critical role that creative networks play in our cultural ecology and beyond.Event detailsTickets are free but limited, and a vegetarian/vegan lunch is included – please be sure to book to attend.Outline agendaThrough short talks, resources, conversation and exchange, Tending To/gether will spotlight and champion the intrinsic value of creative networks.
