Feedback from Little Lost Robot:
"[Stacey's] work was completely exceptional we would not of been able to complete the project without her"
Stacey, and Bath based multi-disciplinary Barbadian visual artist Simbah Pilé co-curated an exhibition featuring over 20 artworks from as many artists on the theme of Trespass. The exhibition including light sculpture, fabric sculpture, film, collage, painting, poetry, costumes and photography from artists from East Asian, British, Romany, French, Norwegan and Barbadian backgrounds. The exhibition was visited by over 900 people. Find out more about the exhibition here.
Following the completion of a GW4 funded research project encompassing research in Bedminster [Bristol], Westfield [B&NES], Axminster [Devon] and Merthyr Tydfil [South Wales], Stacey was commissioned to organise an event to showcase the both the findings of this community based participatory research project, but to include new community, health and political voices in the discourse and encourage policy makers to adopt a different approach to the narrative of developing policies aimed at inequalities in older people and to consider using a participatory approach to develop these policies.
The event was due to take place in Senedd Cymru [The Senedd], seat of the Welsh Assembly Government but when COVID-19 struck and it became clear we wouldn't be able to meet in person for some time the event was moved online.
Stacey was responsible for working with the academic team to bring together the programming, planning, technical management, website development, communications strategy and facilitation of the event which was conducted online via Microsoft Teams. The speaker line-up and attendees included community representatives, academics and policy makers. Find out more about the conference via this link.
Immediate feedback included:
“I liked the idea of bringing academics, politicians and policy makers together. I think health inequalities is a very important topic which does not get enough attention”.
“Listening to all the guest speakers and hearing about all the research that has been done. Because a lot of it was at community level it was very relevant and interesting. Also, all the ideas put forward to try and make people’s lives a level playing field. We need to care from the cradle to the grave.”
“[the 81 year old service users] presentation was inspirational and gave a clear perspective of the patients view”
Academics and community organisers involved in the project and event used the findings from the speakers and breakout rooms to inform conversations with MPs in England and MSs [Members of the Senedd] as well as to write an research paper on the findings.
