Event overview
Voting, marching, picking up litter - important, but for many also boring and mundane. This workshop will explore how we can make citizenship resonate meaningfully with people.
James Turner and Zac Schwartz from Glimpse are coming to Goldsmiths to explore how the tools and techniques of modern branding and communications might be put to work differently to revitalize citizenship and mass civic action at a time when the world really needs it.
Think about what is important to you. Bring ideas. Work with others to generate more. Learn from communication experts. We’ll see if we can turn the ideas we generate into actionable plans and projects.
Glimpse is a cutting edge creative collective which seeks to inspire positive social change. Instead of talking about the problem, they create a ‘glimpse’ of a world where it has been? fixed and use creativity to make that come to life.
Their first project the Citizens Advertising Takeover Service replaced all the adverts at a London Tube station with pictures of cats. Their recent Choose Love pop-up store in Soho took over Black Friday to help people buy real products for refugees.
The Methods Lab experiments with inventive ways of doing sociology. Co-directed by Beckie Coleman and Kat Jungnickel, it supports and runs events that explore how social research can be responsive to social life, to bring it alive.
