Events in Schöppingen

Polly Brannan is an artist, curator and educator. She is committed to the production of public art, social practice, strategies and programmes in collaboration with artists and communities to co-create new work for the cities and places we live in. She is inspired by user-driven design and the methods of playful learning. Since early 2021 she has been Artistic Director of Open School East in Margate, UK, a free, independent
art school and community organisation. She was Education Curator of the Liverpool Biennial 2012-18 and Education Curator of the Serpentine Galleries 2011-13. She is founder and artist of the Avant Gardening network and was a member of the art and architecture collective public works, 2005-2011. She has curated, realised and produced commissions and projects internationally including: Triangle Network Fellowship, Ethiopia; Istanbul Biennial 2017, Turkey and Kochi-Muziris Biennial, India 2018.
The workshop will focus on the question: 'How can we as artists, commissioners and curators connect and embed inclusive approaches to working in public spaces and communities?' Polly will present case studies of social practices and experiences, toolkits, mapping, zine-making and conceptualising ideas and designs.
