Thank you to @CultExtRel for the invitation to reflect on & share my experiences of #GCRP.
It was such a transformational experience, without which Iβd never of had the opportunity to co-found projects such as the #CiptaSeniIncubator with wonderful people like @sharmillag.
ποΈWith #GCRP, the more you bring to it, the more you get out of it. It provided us with a safe space where we could test out ideas & explore collaborations.
Thrilled to hear from GCRP Alumni @sharmillag & @TomCurteis Cipta Seni Incubator's Co-founders!

Inspired by @sjoerdbootsma and @TracyBrabin & other fantastic speakers at 'Here today, gone tomorrow? The future of major events in the UK'
Why do we do these events? Think Sjoerd's slide sums it up... 'Art creates meaning & community'
