About this Event
Building on the foundations of GORWEL, we’re excited to launch CWÎR: Creative Community, a new collaboration between Creative Cardiff and Lone Worlds. Funded by Arts Council of Wales, CWÎR offers LGBTQIA+ creatives a queer-led, safe and welcoming space to connect, share and collaborate.
Each event will spotlight an LGBTQIA+ creative working in a different area of the industry, leading practical and hands-on sessions designed to share knowledge, nurture ideas and encourage meaningful networking and collaboration.
CWÎR aims to build lasting professional and personal connections across Cardiff’s creative sector, increasing visibility and creating opportunities for queer-led, grassroots and community-driven initiatives.
May's session: Ivy Kelly – What Do You Do? Answering the difficult question of what you do and how you name it
For many creatives this can be a difficult question, whether you’re still trying to define your practice, or you’re balancing all sorts of working roles.
This is a workshop about how you can best name your working title, and then adapt it to a range of contexts, from job interviewing to social networking.
During the workshop you’ll be invited to respond to different prompts and ideas in a group setting, so participation is encouraged.
Ivy Kelly has made a name for herself in supporting emerging artists and co-creating with historically excluded communities. Ivy has followed this path since founding the collective Lone Worlds and continues to facilitate safer creative spaces for LGBTQIA+ community in South Wales. Ivy’s podcast, IVY-TV, focuses on platforming a wide range of inspirational Welsh creatives who've found success despite whatever obstacles and challenges they may have faced.
