Research<\/h3>\n

Interviews, focus groups and workshops are involving artists and young people to gather insights into working lives and potential career pathways. Research will be undertaken in Greater Manchester and Leeds-Bradford.<\/p>\n

Invited Workshop, The Whitworth, 19 July 2018<\/strong>: 10 artists will be taking part in a workshop to discuss their daily routines and experiences. In particular the workshop will focus on any shared experiences relating to gender and issues of faith, whether participants are practising or not.\u00a0 Coming out of the workshop will be ideas for the forthcoming exhibition and events, along with information shared on the light-touch application and commissioning process.<\/p>\n

Focus Groups:<\/strong>\u00a0– Oldham Library, Oldham; – Hamara Centre, Beeston, Leeds; – Muslim Heritage Centre, Manchester; – The Whitworth, Manchester; – Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester.<\/p>\n

Exhibition<\/h3>\n

The project culminates in an exhibition and large-scale evening event at The Whitworth Art Gallery, Oxford Road, Manchester, where the work of Muslim women artists will be showcased (Summer 2019; more details to follow).<\/p>\n

A long list of potential artists has been built in the opening stages of the research. Those profiled artists are connected to Greater Manchester or Leeds-Bradford – creative hubs of the so-called ‘Northern Powerhouse’. This means artists may have been born locally, lived, trained or worked here. In some way these regions are important to their development and narrative as makers.<\/p>\n

The final five artists will be commissioned by a panel of educators, artists and curators in July 2018. Watch this space!<\/p>\n

Network and Policy<\/h3>\n

The important contributions made by Muslim women to culture and the economy is highlighted in this project, and will inform policies and decisions of governments, charities and arts bodies to implement strategies to ensure more inclusive pathways and opportunities for those women from religious and ethnic minority backgrounds to contribute to the UK cultural and creative economy.<\/p>\n
