Approach principles
2024.
It’s all about the invite – wait for it.
Patience is key – be deliberately patient.
Stuff comes from stuff.
Trust in the people and the place and answers will come.
Collaborate. Coproduce. Cocreate. Cocurate.
Pay attention – look and listen hard.
Use your sideways brain – look for the gaps.
Trust your intuition.
Use asset-based approaches.
Bring your skills set, and know everyone has one too… use them all.
Know art can do good but it can also do great harm.
Abandon authorship but not responsibility.
Be humble – it’s not about you!
Hold not knowing – hold it for as long as possible.
Generosity breeds generosity.
Work with kindness and care.
Collapse the hierarchy between life and art – they are the same thing.
‘Re’ words are dangerous – regenerate, recreate, reimagine… Instead generate, create, imagine….
