In this workshop, James Thompson invites participants to explore the aesthetics of care within their own community arts practices. After a short introduction, the session becomes a working space in which participants actively reflect on concrete examples from their work. Together, they examine which elements of a process might carry an aesthetic value that often goes unrecognised, and where moments of tension arise when carefulness is challenged. The workshop focuses on practising the application of theory, with Thompson guiding the exchange as coach and facilitator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
