FailSpace

👀

Have you noticed a change in people talking about failure in the cultural sector? Our research found it’s a word the sector tends to avoid… what is your perspective? @LeilaJancovich

. @LeilaJancovich and the team have been wondering how your failing has been going? We’re keen to discover how FailSpace might be informing your work or have you noticed the language changing around failure? Pls reply or dm…

What a day yesterday! Whole day facilitating evaluation for @EastStreetArts alongside fellow @FailSpaceProj consultant @pamela__crowe digging in to the Guild 4year project & all its successes& failures large & small then parked by this @SheafStreet (not sure of artist?) 🖤

We can't wait for our first Creative Cuppa tomorrow @chaptertweets! The event will begin with @FailSpaceProj Champion Tom Bevan talking about how we can learn from failure in the creative industries, followed by informal networking, a hot drink and cake ☕️

🚨 New blog alert! 🚨 Corinne Micallef from A New Direction shares insights from last year's event with @FailSpaceProj - exploring "How can 'learning from failure' improve your work? 🌟 You can read the full blog here 👉 bit.ly/3JcQkiX #LearningFromFailure

"Only by addressing failures can we do things differently and take more risks" In this @ArtsPro piece Susanne Burns argues that being open to failure can be the key to learning, with reference to the Evaluation Principles and @FailSpaceProj. artsprofessional.co.uk/magazine/artic…

Our first Creative Cuppa will focus on the concept of 'failure’ with @FailSpaceProj Champion Tom Bevan. Tom will talk about how we can learn from failure and why it shouldn't be an 'F word' to fear! Tom's talk will be followed by informal networking, coffee (or tea) and cake ☕️

Sadly we couldn’t make it to the Failspace conference, but we will be reading the book from the project. Great to see it being published open access & free to download. A very positive move.

The book “examines how and why the UK’s approach towards increasing cultural participation has largely failed to address social inequality in the subsidised cultural sector despite long-standing international discourse on this issue”

Really good day @FailSpaceProj lotsa of good chats and presentations pointing to some really useful thinking and learning. Some good and meaty stuff to process and looking forward to reading the book... Oh and of course - fab to see friends and colleagues and meet new people x

And that’s a wrap on a brilliant day of panels and discussions at the FailSpace conference - and an added bonus is that @LeilaJancovich & @mrdjstevenson book on this @ahrcpress funded research is now published and open access!! Read it here! link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Genuinely a bit mind blown after the brilliant @FailSpaceProj conference! Such a refreshing approach for all you creative, community, project-delivery folk. But also just anyone who's ever beat themselves up when things haven't gone to plan. Lots of food for thought.

And thanks for your contributions :)

@littlesteph87 @wearepeshkar So glad you made it :)

After a marathon 7 hour journey I finally made it to Edinburgh to talk all things European projects @FailSpaceProj for @wearepeshkar. Really nice to talk to a lovely welcoming room despite being an annoying latecomer. Time to relax and listen now.

And we’re off! Keynote from @LeilaJancovich and @mrdjstevenson to a full house @QMUniversity for the first FailSpace conference @ahrcpress @LeedsUniAHC @PCI_UniofLeeds

Today our Post-Doctoral Research Associate @johnwrightart will be at the @FailSpaceProj conference chairing a panel session focusing on identifying and managing failures in major events.

Failing: (And loving it…) David Stevenson kicking off @FailSpaceProj Conference today, @QMUniversity in Edinburgh. Pumped to be chatting embodying failure later…
