curation conversations

cheryl lawrie is setting up an online community to share learning about curating. the idea is this...

I think the group would do the following:
-

commit to a ‘program’ of regular reading and reflection on books, articles, videos etc

be involved with intentional conversations exploring how transformation happens in public spaces, focussed around questions like this:
 what kind of events create spaces where transformation might happen
? what kind of transformation can ‘art’ effect? 
how does transformation happen?

share practical ideas and wisdom, building up a database of knowledge

The intention of the group would be to have fun, to network people with the intention of collaborations, shared imagination, action / reflection, and to create a bank of wisdom and resources

clayfire curator is another new online space focused on curation and worship - this time a US based one coming out of the evangelical lutheran church. i actually know very little about this one but thought it worth giving it a shout out... mark pierson, the godfather of curating in relation to worship (who has a book out the art of curating worship which i haven't got round to getting yet) is going to be blogging on that space for 12 weeks.

curating worship - seems like an idea whose time has come!

"curating worship - seems like an idea whose time has come!" That's exactly what I've been telling Mark Pierson. Thank you, Jonny, for your book (reading it now) and spreading the idea. Thanks, too, for the link to Clayfire Curator. The new online community Cheryl Lawrie is setting up looks exciting. Looks like we share a similar vision.
