Brave Spaces
An exhibition of original screenprints created by participants working with Bazooka Arts and Glasgow Print Studio, in response to the theme Brave Spaces.
About Brave Spaces
An exhibition of screenprints produced through a partnership between Bazooka Arts and Glasgow Print Studio, building on the success of their previous years contributing to SMHAF in partnership.
Bazooka Arts and Glasgow Print Studio worked in partnership delivering community-based programmes in North Lanarkshire culminating in a public exhibition held in Trongate 103 during SMHAF.
The project explored:
the role creativity can play in fostering comfort
how the arts and creativity can support mental health and well-being in times of need and in the longer term
expanding personal creative comfort zones
pushing the boundaries and edges of our creative comfort zones to be bolder and braver to explore new forms of creativity and new environments
whether public cultural spaces feel accessible, welcoming and comfortable and how sharing feedback could make them more so
the outreach programme and immersive days offered opportunities to explore these themes through a series of participatory arts workshops responding to the theme and to artworks selected from Glasgow Print Studio’s Archive which are evocative of the Festival theme.
The project was delivered as follows:
Outreach session delivered by GPS at Summerlee Museum viewing archive artworks and exploring and demonstrating screenprinting techniques used and providing participatory technique-focused workshop
Bazooka Arts worked with participants to develop creative responses to archive artwork and to the festival theme in preparation for working as a group in Glasgow Print Studio
Participants’ artwork will be framed and exhibited in Trongate 103 and will reach wider audiences through being included in GPS’s First Thursday Event. It will also open an exhibition by artists Damian Henry, Ian Chamberlan, Katherine Jones, and Tom Hannick.
