Mentor meeting, time to think ahead of the studio move in and a Tutorial

 Met with Katey - I'm a nightmare to coach and have had so many things to discuss with her since we started our conversations, from my network, to potential career avenues, exhibitions and now the art group.. but everything fits together somehow.  She's offered a book with lots of practical business templates to help me to build something. It's also really helpful to see how people, organisations and different areas of the arts connect across Stoke and Staffordshire.  

Confirmed that the board members meeting will happen on Wednesday 5th June 2024 so I'll aim to get an exhibition in the MA_Cap space for when they're here. 

Really frustrated that nothings happened in the ProjeCt space yet but I've not dropped it.

Dropped a response to Jennifer Anyan, at The Other Mother project re an interview over teams.

Dropped some brainstorming down to get everything out my head - ahead of a tutorial with Ian Brown.

 

My tutorial flagged up questions about collaboration around what I want as an outcome.

What are my expectations.

A conversation with Sophie Brock (Motherhood studies sociologist)  would be a different kind of collaboration than with Jennifer Anyan (Artist ) 

Ideas may form from conversations with Sophie and may drive ideas but Jennifer may lead to cross conversation, networking and ultimately, maybe a joint exhibition. 

Talked about power differences and associations that could lead to transactions.

I'd not considered the differences before .. and these are both different to collaborating with Kite and Poppy re croK.
