ABC Culture Conference: The New Cultural Geography of Smaller Places
Excited to be working once again with Starling Start and Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council on this programme, a legacy of the UK City of Culture bid that we’d worked on together.
This conference is the first in an annual series. The first will examine The New Cultural Geography of Smaller Places.
Taking place on Wednesday 1st February 2023 at Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre in Armagh, the event will explore the relationship between creative process and place in small cities and rural regions like ABC, hearing from a range of speakers who are working in inspirational ways across the UK, Ireland and Europe. We are inviting artists, activists, civic leaders, politicians, academics, and creative thinkers from far and near to join us in celebration, and to learn and exchange ideas. The event coincides with Imbolc – the first day of the Celtic spring calendar, which brings promise of renewal and rebirth after long winters.
