Decolonising the Creative Industries

This Series of Care workshop is for artists and creatives of Bradford to explore approaches to decolonising their perspectives and approaches to better hold safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces when working with different communities within their creative practice.

If your practice includes any kind of event or workshop facilitation or engagement with a variety of communities across Bradford, this session will help you to develop your understanding, knowledge and confidence around decolonising your practice and ways of being. You’ll explore frameworks and approaches to de-colonial practice in the creative sector and why it’s so important.

This event is hosted by the Teapot Collective.

How do we as creative practitioners find commonalities between truths and lived experiences and hold spaces that hold multiple truths?

Through this holistic session with elements of movement and yoga, we will explore:

• The impacts of capitalism and colonisation on our creative practices
• How you can decolonise your practice for your upcoming projects and events
• Systemic trauma and trauma-informed approaches
• Self-accountability frameworks

• An artist or creative freelancer living in or working in the Bradford district
• 18 years old or over
• Creating work or hosting events that engage a variety of different communities across the District
• Committed to developing your understanding around creating safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces for all
