On_Convalescence : (May We Rise) Together

Between May and July 2023 Resident Artist Samantha Jones and  Natalie Pace, Curator of Pier Projects, were on ‘ On_Convalescence. Together,' exploring how as cultural professionals, funders, commissioners and practitioners, we can create a caring ecology, that looks after the wellbeing of each other and along with our communities? 

Culminating in a day of sharing, workshopping, discussion and eating together offering artists and arts workers time and space to reconnect to their practice, one another and consider collective wellbeing. 

Samantha and Natalie are now collaborating on an artist's ‘Wellbeing Rider’ to be implemented within Pier Projects and as a template for artists and art organsations to utilize.
