Social Practice Toolkit
A set of film resources were developed by Leitrim County Council and Cork City Council with the support of Creative Ireland. Available on www.socialpracticetoolkit.com, the films provide a complement to the existing repository of practical information and tools for artists working in social practice contexts. This set of films responds to the resulting demand for management and production tools that support resilience and adaptability within this key growth area. Each film consists of an interview with one of six artists currently leading in the field in Ireland: Marie Brett, George Higgs, Mike McLoughlin, Deirdre O’Mahony, Seoidín O’Sullivan and Kate Wilson. The artists provide insight into the nuts and bolts of this type of artistic practice through examples from their own portfolios. Topics covered range from relationship-building, sourcing funding, and self-advocacy to risk assessment, representation issues, evaluation methods and more. The film resources, filmed and edited by Róisín Loughrey, are an outcome of an online professional development webinar series hosted by Leitrim County and Cork City Arts Offices in 2020-2021. The webinars were attended by 20 arts practitioners in total; 10 based in each local authority area. Below are some of the of participants.
