RAPID ARTS RESIDENCY

​

July - August 2009

​

Multinational collaborative artist residency at run by Sea Change Arts, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk in collaboration with Turku Arts Centre, Finland 

​

This was an intense period (1 month) of collaboration work between musicians, sound artists, dancers, performance artists as well as visual artists. Part of the residency was also running creative and interactive workshops for local community groups such as Unemployment support centre, Community centre for the elderly as well as general public.

​

Over a three week period a number of installations around the city of Turku were developed. These installations asked a number of questions including:

Do you think you own that space?

Does my presence restrict your freedom?

Is this space being used to it's full potential?

​

The work attempted to question the use of public urban spaces and to temporarily transform spaces for community engagement.
