We’re delighted to invite you to an online event hosted by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC), in partnership with AHRC’s Wales and South West Impact Acceleration Account Cluster. Swansea University has worked with AHRC and the Cluster to create this event for staff members across the 7 universities – it’s a brilliant opportunity to hear diverse examples of impact project work funded by the IAAs, and discover how challenges were resolved along the way.
Discover how Arts and Humanities researchers in Wales and South West England are collaborating with local partners in Global Majority communities on innovative methods to help amplify Indigenous, minority and historically excluded voices through AHRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) funded projects:
· Co-creating tools with displaced Yazidi communities in Iraq to reclaim agency, weaving generational oral storytelling into dynamic, community-led cartographies
· Developing a creative new platform for writers and artists from northern Nigeria to publish works, challenging the tradition of competing for publishing opportunities and validation in Global North-based magazines and platforms
· Arts-based collaboration with Tehuelche and Mapuche Indigenous communities as they challenge traditional historical narratives on Welsh settlement in Patagonia
· Improving archival access to British South Asian theatre history and practice
Hear about the successes and challenges of creating groundbreaking creative routes to challenge dominant geopolitical narratives, supporting cultural preservation as well as political visibility.
