An evening of quick-fire presentations by people passionate about using the arts for social change. 

About this event

After the roaring success of the first ARTS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE SHOWCASE in September 2021 and again in February 2022, Collective Encounters is delighted to be programming another fascinating night of presentations exploring participatory arts projects, practice and passions.

Join us for an evening of quick-fire presentations by people passionate about using the arts for social change. The showcase is a great way to grow your ideas, share and celebrate your achievements, rage about something or highlight something that needs to change. Presenters will show up to 15 slides about their theme, project, issue, community, infatuation and/or themselves. Each presentation will last no more than 5 minutes.

This event is a great opportunity to connect, network, get feedback and generate new ideas. Presenters can be theatre-makers, producers, participants, funders, community groups, charities…anyone with a curiosity or passion for arts & social change.

There will be 12 presentations, with opportunities to ask questions of the contributors throughout.

The formal event will end at 9.30pm but we will keep the event open for networking until 10.00pm.
