Jamming Day 2
Learning From Stuart Hall: What Do We See? What Do We Say?
Thursday 29 October, 6–8.30pm
____________________
🟢 Schedule

6pm
Artist-designed refreshments by Jek McAllister
Introduction by Ranjana Thapalyal
Screening John Akomfrah's 'The Stuart Hall Project' (2013) 1h 43m
Incantatory verse summoning in response by Omar Kholeif

8.30pm
ends
____________________
A screening event centred on John Akomfrah’s film The Stuart Hall Project - Revolution, politics, culture, and the New Left experience (2013). The film is presented as a starting point to thinking about Hall’s emphasis on understanding the present moment, its historical threads and its potentials. In the face of recent ruptures in contemporary culture and politics and what many see as a backward slide in a belief in social cohesion, what can be learned from Hall’s insistence that while there are patterns which created the present, they do not necessarily determine what may yet be. The event aims to look to methods of reading the contested present in order to build actions of hope.

Come join me on a slow autumnal sort of Monday, in which I try to get better at the whole concept of the day. Genuinely, taking a bit of time for myself on a Monday morning before any commitments has changed my whole week and given me something to look forward to on Sunday night — turns out taking time to make some lists leaves me feeling more organised? Who knew!

This is also my first voiceover vlog type reel, so please let me know if you'd like to see more! I am also trying to get better at talking videos, so I guess I'm multitasking new things here :')

Places I visited that you should also check out:

and please remember you can also join/peruse/use the Scottish Working Class Database also - find the link in @katiemcgroarty or @scottishworkingclassnetwork bio!

If you're interested in creating a creative database for your area let me know and we'll see what we can do!

- also guys pls be gentle i failed geography so I've tried to place the pins as best as I could (i am literally from west dun and i think I've plopped it down in potentially Stirling?); I'll be redoing this graphic in a few months anyways to add the others but gen it was so hard.

Also big apologies to Orkney and Shetland, idk why the purple is a different colour and I also had to place them myself bc it was so hard to find a map with everyone together - please pay attention in geography you never know when your life could depend on it!!

please dont hate me, ilysm,
lots of love,
RAD

As part of SCAN's learning and development project Affiliations, a group of artist-run initiatives (ARIs) are taking part in the focused incubator programme Affiliations Cohort, offering bespoke training and field trips to partner organisations. Our most recent visit was to SCAN member Generator Projects in Dundee, where the cohort took part in a workshop on governance delivered by entrepreneur, activist, and author Briana Pegado, followed by a tour of the space from the Generator committee. This felt like a particularly apt time to visit Generator, as the committee worked towards the gallery's 30th birthday celebrations, which continue until 10 October.

Find out more about the Affiliations programme on our website 🔗

Tomorrow, Friday 25 September, artist Adrian Pepe will discuss his practice and the work he made for Everything for Everybody @generatorprojects with @gerschultzj and @monotown for our closing event, 14:00-16:00. All welcome!

Adrian Pepe is a Honduran fibre artist based in Lebanon. His artistic practice is an ongoing investigation into process and material. Through his work, he interweaves nature and culture to create objects as tools to enable an open discourse on materiality, our morphing cultural landscape, and the present condition. Pepe’s work is rooted in textiles, spanning site-specific installations to durational performances. By directly engaging with the sentient providers of raw materials — whether plant or animal — Pepe forges relational ties that manifest in objects and events imbued with artistry, sweat, perspiration, mythology, and symbolism; transforming acts of making into speculative, embodied rituals that test and extend our understanding of material agency, ecological intimacy, and the poetics of labor.

Supported by the St Andrews Centre for Art and Politics, the St Andrews Centre for Contemporary Art, and the Centre for Global (Post)socialisms, Southeast, Central, and East European Studies.

This weekend, my doors will be open as part of the @waspsstudios Doors open Days at Meadowmill @waspsdundee studios!

You can pop by to chat about painting, any of my shows from this year (or years gone by!) as well as if you want to chat about the @regionalartistsdatabase , including the West Dunbartonshire Creative Database (with its lovely home being the @clydesiders ), the Edinburgh Creative Database (who is snuggled up in @embassygallery ), the Dundee Artists Database (who is bouncing around @generatorprojects ) or the Scottish Working Class Database made in loving matrimony with @scottishworkingclassnetwork OR you'd rather chat about the Scottish Art Show!

Plenty to gab about, plenty of stuff to see, and I'll have QR codes about so you can get some creepy wee prints just in time for the big mans birthday (or halloween if you're so inclined!)

Also lots of other cool artists to see and chat to!

see yaaaaa there x
