<P><STRONG>Artist/Admin: Collaboration</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Tuesday, June 27.  6:30 - 8:30PM</STRONG></P>
<P>This group discussion about collaboration will address how art and cultural institutions can mediate the perception of competition and work together towards a more equitable distribution of resources. Join us to share food and best practices for building collaborative networks, pooling resources, and supporting others in their creative work; we aim to walk away enlightened, invigorated, and in continuing conversation about reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies and relieving false competition by working together.</P>
<P>This seventh session of Artist/Admin is co-facilitated by Lisa Hoffman, Katherine Tom, and Kira Simon-Kennedy. Our three facilitators each come with their own extensive knowledge of building collaborative networks and working to support others in their creative work. Lisa helms the Alliance of Artist Communities, a massive network of artist residencies that organizes national conferences, and recently led her predominantly white board through anti-oppression training for the first time. Katherine is a core member of BUFU, who are currently building relationships across different collectives in NYC to learn to self-generate resources, support one another and help each other thrive in the work. And Kira orchestrates chain reactions of institutional resource and knowledge transfers through her nonprofit China Residencies, as well as online and offline collectives, collaborative websites, documentaries and zines.</P>
<P>After brief hellos and introductions, facilitators will lead breakout sessions around these three questions:</P>
<UL>
<LI>How can we mediate narratives of scarcity and competition?</LI>
<LI>How could we work towards more equitable distributions of labor, resources and attention?</LI>
<LI>How many layers of meta-collaboration (networks of networks, for example) are sustainable?</LI>
</UL>
<P>RSVP if you can make it, and if you can’t, don’t worry. We’ll be sharing notes and takeaways from this session to circulate far and wide.</P>
<P>The gallery is ADA accessible with direct street level access and wheelchair accessible restroom.</P>
