You’re invited to a workshop with producer, curator, researcher and artist Roseanna Dias, where you can learn about incorporating rest and care practices into your creative work. This workshop, organised by Spike Island for Kaleidoscope Network, will discuss the importance of self-care and collective care, as well as the broader context in which we seek change. It’s an opportunity to explore a variety of perspectives, tools and approaches for nourishment.
During the session, you’ll be invited to reflect individually and with others on these themes. You’ll also be introduced to Roseanna’s work and her business, Studio Susegad (pronounced ‘soo-seh-gaad’). This creative production studio designs tools and spaces to promote care, rest, and connection. The name “Susegad” comes from a Konkani term from Goa, India (where some of Roseanna’s family is from), reflecting a slower, more balanced way of living in harmony with nature and human needs.
The UK’s cultural sector is reaching a crucial tipping point and is facing imminent burnout* – come together with other creatives and cultural workers to explore regenerative ways of working and resisting in a relaxed workshop setting.
This event is organised by Spike Island for the Kaleidoscope Network – a collaboration between Spike Island (Bristol) Eastside Projects (Birmingham), Primary (Nottingham) and The NewBridge Project (Newcastle). Formed in response to a need for mutual support, the network has come together as a way to share resources, increase what each partner is able to offer and create new connections between communities of artists.
As a NewBridge member, you are also automatically a Kaleidoscope Network member.
This event is accessed remotely online.
The NewBridge Project is a charity, registered charity no. 1173849.
We are grateful to our funders, including Arts Council England, Newcastle City Council, Garfield Weston Foundation, Jerwood Foundation, Community Foundation North East, Newcastle University and the The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority.
