Framework For Resilience

During 2020 and 2021, we have been working with artists to think about how we make artworks and build artistic programmes. Through these collaborations, we developed a series of conversations, interventions and resources called Framework for…. These focus on the topics urgent to FACT’s current and future research, and to those who we are working with.

In February 2021 we explored 'resilience' in Framework for Resilience. Taking place online, three conversations brought together activists, artists, researchers and educators to think about the world we are creating, the world we are destroying, the systems which will fall, and those which should prevail. Explore the resources to watch the conversations back online or listen to them on our podcast.

This online event was part of The Living Planet, FACT’s year-long season which focused on the non-human, and deals with themes such as climate change, ecology and communication, as well as the violence of ‘othering’. The invited speakers were from diverse areas of research, corresponding to the intersectionality of the topics and of FACT’s approach to programming.

This wide-ranging series of conversations broadly focuses on how we all experience the natural world. Speakers consider the ways in which we can better align ourselves with the needs and desires of our environment, as well as of every being within it. Their ever-evolving ways of working examine the social structures and control which prevent this, and create methods or technologies to disrupt, alter or dismantle these.

Framework for... is made possible by funding from and is part of, a wider research project funded by the European Union, called Artsformation.

These online conversations are part of The Living Planet, FACT’s year-long season which focuses on the non-human, and deals with themes such as climate change, ecology and communication, as well as the violence of ‘othering’. This series will inform our programme for the rest of the year which focuses on systems of knowledge and classification in the formation of identity and the exercise of power.

They also form part of Artsformation, a research project which seeks to identify new ways of working, specifically at the intersection between art, society and technology, to overcome current social crises including justice, democracy and climate. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

The title for these sessions is taken from the artwork, PESTS, by Shonagh Short. Commissioned by FACT in 2020 for FACT Together.
