Please note this session is postponed, we will announce a new date soon.
Are you a regular visitor to Primary? Do you visit exhibitions, attend workshops or get involved in the public programmes? We want to hear your feedback!
Please join us for one or both of the following sessions:
Saturday 26th February 11.30am–1pm.
Wednesday 9th March 6–8pm (with tea, snacks and cake!)
Primary and Museum Studies researcher Lucrezia Gigante are collaborating on mapping the impact of the public programmes at Primary and the role of the organisation in the cultural life of Nottingham. These collaborative and creative maps will help visualise the dynamics, networks and challenges involved in cultural participation, building on the experiences of those with active connections to the organisation, the neighbourhood and the city.
The aim is to explore collectively and creatively the take-aways of participation at Primary, and feed back on projects and events. This will also be a chance to reflect on what is already happening and what you might like to see more of in the future.
If you take part in the public programmes at Primary - for example visiting exhibitions and performances, or taking part in workshops and events - and would like to join these sessions, while enjoying delicious food with us, please do get in touch! These small group workshops will be held in person at Primary in our ground floor space. If you have any access needs please let us know.
If you would like to book a place or have questions, please email Lucrezia at lg273@leicester.ac.uk.
These workshops are part of Lucrezia’s doctoral research supported by AHRC Midlands4Cities.
Lucrezia Gigante is a PhD researcher at the School of Museum Studies in Leicester, whose work focuses on cultural citizenship and participatory practices in art museums and organisations.
She is particularly interested in how art institutions can collaborate with communities through the use of public programmes and engagement projects. As an Italian feeling at home in Leicester, she is keen to explore what makes people feel welcome in new places. Through her research, she is investigating how art institutions contribute to place-making and to the cultural life of cities.
