Researching Wildfires and Cultural Heritage through artist residencies
Speaker: Menelaos Gkartzios
This presentation introduces a new international project at Newcastle University that investigates the complex relationship between wildfires and cultural heritage through, inter alia, the delivery of 3 artist residencies in Ireland, Turkey and Italy. Building on previous experimental work with the artist residency offered by the Centre for Rural Economy, the Institute for Creative Art Practice, and The Maltings (Berwick), as well as research on artist placements in rural Japan during large outdoor art festivals, the presentation explores how artistic practice can enrich planning research. It highlights innovative ways to understand places, development and their politics through art residencies.
