Rachel’s workshop as part of the Skills Exchange drew on the notion that our art form has influence outside of the creative process and product. It reflected on ideas about how our personal politics and values drive our practice.
Some of the core values of the work that were explored included:
- It is important for self-belief to see ourselves as individuals as well as part of communities
- A combination of contributions can only make life richer for all
- Equality can be built through fostering empathy, acknowledging and celebrating difference, and opening our eyes to the value of others
