Creative Active Culture
'Creative Active Culture' will see a number of disadvantaged groups being guided by an artist to explore and design what culture and sport means to them during European week of sport, culture night, and other group celebration sessions. Themes of culture in the Olympics and Paralympics provide the inspiration for the programme. Artists will shine a light on the spectacles of both opening ceremonies and the games themselves.
There will be a number of artist-led sessions where participants will discuss the creative and artistic features of the Olympic and Paralympic opening ceremonies and how national cultures have been presented over time. Leading from this will be discussion on how artmaking and sport compare and complement each other.
Each participant will be given materials and a t-shirt to design. They will be given opportunities to wear their glow-in-the-dark designs as part of Culture Night and #BEACTIVE 'Glow game' nights in September.
In association with Youth Work Galway, Ballinfoyle Community Centre, Active Cities and Galway Sports Partnership.
