The Gathering Momentum Young Producers have been considering the future of participatory art, developing a programme that explores the impact of youth leadership, collective action and reclaiming spaces.

Now they want to hear from you.

Imagining the field of participatory art as a garden, they want to hear your ideas on what is needed to ensure this practice flourishes in the future:

  • What seed would you plant and why? 
  • What are the tools and conditions needed for growth?
  • What are your hopes, dreams, and demands for the future of participatory art?

HOW TO APPLY: Submissions can be in the format of either:

-30 second videos / audio clip

-100 words poem / text

-1 artwork / image

Please send your contribution to gathering@engage.org with the subject line ‘Gathering Garden’.

DEADLINE: Call out closes 10 March 2023, 5pm.

They are particularly interested to hear from delegates who: identify as LGBTQIA+; or who identify as belonging to the global ethnic majority; or who are deaf, disabled, or neurodiverse, or with a long-term health or mental health condition; or those who identify as being from a working class or low socio-economic background, as their work is less represented in the sector.
