Rewilding the Artist - Breaking New Ground
Introduction
Rewilding the Artist is a project by Gaia Redgrave, testing and developing ways to support well-being through the creation of individualised sustainable practice.
In the first phase of the project, Gaia went on a journey with her own practice. In this second phase, over the next two years, Rewilding the Artist Breaking New Ground, will:
Work within a Culture of Care ethos, the culture Gaia is advocating for within the arts to include accessibility and working environment for everybody. This will include ‘Culture of Cre contracts’ for everybody involved so freelancers and everybody else are valued.
Create and test free & low cost resources for artists & organisations.
Mentor two people through the Rewilding journey who will then be able to walk beside others on their journeys in the future
Publish a podcast series in which we will be interviewing people who are already doing innovative work in this field, sharing these solutions to inspire others.
The project also supports Gaia to develop a new body of work where she is in collaboration with the land.
