SUMMARY:Gender\, Identity and Art: Breaking the Archetypal Mould
DESCRIPTION:Gender\, Identity and Art: Breaking the Archetypal Mould \nLooking back to look forward \nUnity Theatre Bar\, 1 Hope Pl\, Liverpool L1 9BG \nCollective Encounters is delighted to launch a brand new exhibition created by Women in Action. This exhibition explores the changing representations of gender\, sexuality and women.  \nThe artworks interrogate identity through archetypes such as the fool\, the sage\, the caregiver\, the outlaw\, the ruler\, and more. These archetypes form symbols which represent human behaviour and personality in order to help us understand ourselves and what influences us. From a social justice perspective\, a critical understanding of archetypes means moving from the personal to the collective. Often influenced by patriarchal and heteronormative ideas and the goals of capitalism\, challenging these stereotypes helps to reveal the structure of society in order to break free\, change the rules and celebrate who we are. \nWomen in Action have been working at a grassroots level to use and dismantle these figures in order to address themes of health\, wellbeing\, women’s working conditions\, LGBT+ identity and their intersections with class struggle. \n_ _ _ \nExhibition launch – Tuesday 13th May\, 5.30pm – 7.30pm \nCome along to meet the artists and chat about their work \nExhibition opens Wednesday 7th May and runs until 3rd August 2025 \n_ _ _ \nThis exhibition is part of Collective Encounters’ Radical Retrospectives programme\, celebrating and archiving 21 years of the organisations’ work across the Liverpool City Region. \nRadical RetrospectivesUnity Theatre website

SUMMARY:Alternative Hierarchies in Arts Organisations (OPEN SPACE)
DESCRIPTION:Calling question: \nWhat can emerge when arts organisations employ alternatives to traditional hierarchies within their leadership structures? \nContext for the question & who the event is for: \nAccording to the Imagine it Different Report there is “continued reliance on traditional\, hierarchical leadership styles in the [arts] sector\, with leaders drawing most often on skills that suggest individual responses and ‘leader led’ solutions\, rather than a [collaborative] systems leadership approach which is increasingly recognised as more effective in other sectors” (Clore Leadership\, 2024). \nThis event draws on these concerns; asking whether alternative approaches to hierarchy and leadership can embody the values which characterises so much of participatory and socially engaged arts practice. We will explore the place of collaboration\, shared-decision making\, community building and democratic processes within arts leadership and governance. \nYou will hear provocations from guest speakers based on their experiences of working in arts organisations which operate outside of traditional hierarchies. After this we will invite you to be part of the conversation. \nTopics for discussion may include: \n\nvaried approaches to organising and leadership within arts organisations;\nthe benefits of adopting non-hierarchical leadership structures;\nan insight into the challenges of these approaches;\nand the nuts and bolts of how different ways of organising work.\n\nSpeakers: We will announce guest speakers shortly. In the meantime\, if you work in an arts organisation with an alternative leadership structure and are interested in speaking at this event please contact marianne@collective-encounters.org.uk \nEvent Format: Open Spaces are participant-led events where the agenda and discussion are driven by those in the room. At the beginning of the event guest speakers will introduce some key ideas\, principles and practices behind the theme and offer provocations for discussion. Together we set the agenda and you will be able to move freely between conversations. \nTicket Cost: £5.00 \nWe also have a small number of bursary places available for those with limited funds\, please email info@collective-encounters.org.uk \nAccess: This event will use live transcription. If you require any other access support please get in touch before the event \nBook Online
