Want to make your work more sustainable but struggling with where to start? Unsure what Arts Council England means by Environmental Responsibility? Or keen to make impactful work on the climate crisis?

 

Creatives are essential in the fight against climate change, but this stuff can feel overwhelming. Join Zoe Rasbash, Watersheds Climate Action Researcher, to move from overwhelm to action, and create strategies for creative projects that are good for people and planet.

Make Shift Meetups are a space for early career creatives to come together in the Pervasive Media Studio on the first Tuesday evening of each month. This is an opportunity to meet other creatives in the city, learn from established practioners and each other, exchange ideas and think about next steps in your creative career in a welcoming environment.

Benefits of Make Shift

  • Find out about Watershed, the Pervasive Media Studio and what we offer to South West based creatives
  • A chilled space where you can meet and chat with other creatives
  • Talks from creative practitioners on anything from finding funds for your project to how to do your tax return

Timings

You are welcome to arrive from 17:30. The hosted element of the event will start at 17:45 and finish at 19:00. Thereafter, you are invited to continue conversations until 20:00. Don't worry if you can't make it for the beginning of the session or stay for the whole session.

Accessibility

The PM Studio is wheelchair accessible and there is an accessible and gender neutral toilet. There is also a baby change area. We have a dedicated quiet room where there is low lighting, sofas, bean bags and space to lie down. This is away from the general open space of the Studio.

If drop in events aren't accessible for you, please email studio@watershed.co.uk to book in. When you book in, we will link you up with a member of our team who will reach out to find out where you would like them to meet you and what time you will arrive. That team member can also arrange a time for you to visit the Studio for a 1-2-1 tour so you can familiarise yourself with our space before attending. We have a dedicated quiet space and dedicated quiet desks area, which all visitors are welcome to use.About Pervasive Media Studio

The Pervasive Media Studio hosts an international community of over 100 artists, companies, technologists, and academics exploring experience design and creative technology. We are a space for risk taking and early ideas; for the kind of projects and questions that inhabit the meeting points of art, technology, and society.
