Thinking Ground

Next date: Friday, 02 May 2025 | 08:30 AM to 05:00 PM

A group of people sitting in chairs, some holding laptops, gather in a semi-circle inside a room.

Hosted by the voice in my hands (VIHM)

VIMH is throwing open the doors of our residency studio every Friday and you are invited.  

THINKING GROUND will be a space for artists to gather and connect, to spend time collectively unpacking our role in responding to current and future social, environmental and political need. We are approaching this time together with a fundamental belief in our own power as a community and our capacity to model new ways of living and gathering in the face of crisis, and will facilitate these conversations through an aspirational framework. 

"What we need are alternative horizons that spark the imagination. And I do mean horizons in the plural; conflicting utopias are the lifeblood of democracy after all.”  - Rutger Bregman 

VIMH is using this theme for their entire residency to think about where to next (in the smallest and the biggest sense) and we want to do this thinking with our community (you!).  

No artistic experience is necessary to participate. If you're interested in these ideas and want to contribute to this conversation, then we'd love to have you.

You can also get a quick summary of each day below and can shoot any questions that you might have through to thevoiceinmyhands@gmail.com
