Call for Participants! Join Blazing Century Studios in the ‘Creative Vision Project’ this May. |12 Slots Only!
Are you an artist or creative
individual between 18 and 38 years of age? Are you interested in discovering
ways of developing your creativity and how this might also benefit the wider
society and the environment? Have you ever longed for a space where your
creativity and ideas can lead to many different, new and innovative ways of
working? Are you interested in participating on an international art,
film and music project? If so, then you may want to participate in the creative
project “BC1: Youth of Nigeria as Artists of the Future”!
The project is organized by
Blazing Century Studios, Nigeria as part of my Doctoral Research in the School
of Arts, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, United Kingdom.
For details of my cultural and
artistic work see: www. artfuturelab.org, www.blazingcentury1.virb.com, Facebook:

SO, WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
12 young artists and creative people
will participate in a two-part workshop, first for 4 days, 18th- 21st May 2016.
The workshops – led by the
social-artist, Wilfred Ukpong – will enable you to become aware of your
social-artistic capacities and to develop imaginative proposals for social-environmental
art forms that could become social enterprises.
In the first 5-day workshop you will
be introduced to creative ways of developing your ideas, vision and proposals.
In the next 2 workshop days these ideas and proposals will be shared and discussed
with experienced people such as cultural managers, social entrepreneurs,
environmentalists and government officials.
The cross sector dialogue that these
workshops will facilitate is intended to help you to develop new vision and new
ways of working as a creative practitioner who can respond to the social and
environmental challenges in creative ways. Throughout the workshops there will
be a focus on how your proposed project can benefit your environment, the
community and its people.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE?
PARTICIPATION IS FREE! And all
materials and meals are provided.
But you do need to commit to
participating fully in both parts of the workshop: for 4 days, 18th- 21st May
2016, Workshop hours are 10 am –5 pm daily.
